District-Level NCES Analysis
Lake Local operates 3 public schools serving 3,371 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 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 Stark County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,717 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 47.5% local, 42.6% state, and 9.8% 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 27/100, ranked #682 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 387.2:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 0.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.1% White, 3.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Lake Primary School, with a diversity index of 20.6/100.
Its largest campus is Lake Middle / High School, enrolling 1,655 students (50% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lake Primary School, at 423 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Lake Middle / High School accounts for 49.1% of all Lake Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lake Local a distant remainder — means Lake 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.
Lake Local school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities
Lake Local school enrollment ranges from 423 students (lowest) to 1,655 students (highest), a spread of 1,232 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Lake Local student-counselor ratio is 387:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Lake Local chronic absenteeism rate is 0.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Lake Local has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 3,371 students.
