District-Level NCES Analysis

JOHNSON CO CENTRAL PUBLIC SCHS operates 4 public schools serving 497 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 500 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Johnson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,850 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 81.4% local, 11.8% state, and 6.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $99,852 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 43/100, ranked #124 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 332.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.8% White, 17.4% Hispanic or Latino, 2.8% African American across the district's schools.

Johnson Co Central High School accounts for 33.2% of all JOHNSON CO CENTRAL PUBLIC SCHS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means JOHNSON CO CENTRAL PUBLIC SCHS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
