Per-pupil expenditure runs $26,736 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 85 of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending.

a 433:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.0% African American, 44.8% Hispanic or Latino, 5.3% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Laraway School, enrolling 433 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Laraway School accounts for 99.1% of all Laraway Ccsd 70c student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Laraway Ccsd 70c a distant remainder — means Laraway Ccsd 70c-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.
Laraway Ccsd 70c student-counselor ratio is 433:1 — 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.
Laraway Ccsd 70c chronic absenteeism rate is 24.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Laraway Ccsd 70c is typically wider than the Laraway Ccsd 70c-aggregate figure suggests.
