District-Level NCES Analysis
Logan County operates 8 public schools serving 3,430 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kentucky. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 Logan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,268 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 171 Kentucky districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kentucky compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.5% local, 56.1% state, and 21.4% 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 41/100, ranked #104 of 171 in Kentucky against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 460.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.5% White, 5.9% Hispanic or Latino, 2.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Adairville Elementary School, with a diversity index of 39.4/100.
Its largest campus is Logan County High School, enrolling 918 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Cougar Virtual Academy, at 7 students, a 131x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Logan County High School accounts for 26.6% of all Logan County student enrollment
That concentration means Logan County-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.
Logan County school enrollment varies 131× across entities
Logan County school enrollment ranges from 7 students (lowest) to 918 students (highest), a spread of 911 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Logan County has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 53.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Logan County student-counselor ratio is 460:1 — 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.
Logan County chronic absenteeism rate is 20.5% — 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 Logan County is typically wider than the Logan County-aggregate figure suggests.
Logan County has 8 schools, including 1 high, 6 combined, 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 3,430 students.
