District-Level NCES Analysis
Leavenworth operates 8 public schools serving 3,604 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Leavenworth County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,771 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.9% local, 69.5% state, and 11.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 43/100, ranked #160 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 311.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 60.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 49.6% White, 16.1% African American, 14.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Leavenworth Virtual School, with a diversity index of 73.3/100.
Its largest campus is Leavenworth Sr High, enrolling 1,237 students (38% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Leavenworth Virtual School, at 23 students, a 54x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Leavenworth Sr High accounts for 34.3% of all Leavenworth student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Leavenworth-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Leavenworth school enrollment varies 54× across entities
Leavenworth school enrollment ranges from 23 students (lowest) to 1,237 students (highest), a spread of 1,214 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. 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.
Leavenworth student-counselor ratio is 312:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Leavenworth is typically wider than the Leavenworth-aggregate figure suggests.
Leavenworth chronic absenteeism rate is 60.6% — 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.
