District-Level NCES Analysis
London City operates 4 public schools serving 2,117 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Madison County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,903 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 51.5% local, 36.6% state, and 11.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 16/100, ranked #780 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 178.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 31.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.1% White, 4.6% African American, 3.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is London Elementary School, with a diversity index of 33.0/100.
Its largest campus is London Elementary School, enrolling 1,011 students (47% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is London Preschool, at 30 students, a 34x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
London Elementary School accounts for 46.6% of all London City student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of London City a distant remainder — means London City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
London City school enrollment varies 34× across entities
London City school enrollment ranges from 30 students (lowest) to 1,011 students (highest), a spread of 981 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.
London City student-counselor ratio is 178:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
London City chronic absenteeism rate is 31.5% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
London City has 4 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 2,117 students.
