District-Level NCES Analysis
Invent Learning Hub operates 1 public schools serving 166 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Marion County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,169 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 41 of 405 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 4.0% local, 62.6% state, and 33.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 221:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 36.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 38.5% Hispanic or Latino, 31.2% African American, 21.7% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Invent Learning Hub, enrolling 221 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 7.8% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (166 to 179 students), while the student-teacher ratio widened by 1.4 students per teacher, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $3,113,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 53.9% went to instruction, 37.6% to support services, and 0.2% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Invent Learning Hub accounts for 100.0% of all Invent Learning Hub student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Invent Learning Hub a distant remainder — means Invent Learning Hub-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Invent Learning Hub student-counselor ratio is 221:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Invent Learning Hub chronic absenteeism rate is 36.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
