District-Level NCES Analysis

LEXINGTON R-V operates 3 public schools serving 997 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 893 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Lafayette County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,913 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 44.5% local, 31.8% state, and 23.7% 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 $68,645 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 64/100, ranked #105 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 297.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.6% White, 6.8% Hispanic or Latino, 3.9% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means LEXINGTON R-V-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

LEXINGTON R-V student-counselor ratio is 298:1 — 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 LEXINGTON R-V is typically wider than the LEXINGTON R-V-aggregate figure suggests.

LEXINGTON R-V chronic absenteeism rate is 27.0% — 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 LEXINGTON R-V is typically wider than the LEXINGTON R-V-aggregate figure suggests.
