District-Level NCES Analysis
Jefferson Township Local operates 3 public schools serving 279 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined 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 Montgomery County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,479 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 48.9% local, 35.1% state, and 16.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 46/100, ranked #400 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 138:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 45.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.2% African American, 8.8% White, 4.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Blairwood Elementary School, with a diversity index of 57.5/100.
Blairwood Elementary School accounts for 53.0% of all Jefferson Township Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Jefferson Township Local a distant remainder — means Jefferson Township Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Jefferson Township Local school enrollment varies 148× across entities
Jefferson Township Local school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 148 students (highest), a spread of 147 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Jefferson Township Local student-counselor ratio is 138:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Jefferson Township Local chronic absenteeism rate is 45.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Jefferson Township Local has 3 schools, including 3 combined. Total enrollment is 279 students.
