District-Level NCES Analysis
Louisburg operates 5 public schools serving 1,802 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle 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 Miami County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,240 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 29 of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.8% local, 61.7% state, and 5.5% 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 12/100, ranked #247 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Louisburg High accounts for 29.4% of all Louisburg student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Louisburg-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.
Louisburg school enrollment varies 17× across entities
Louisburg school enrollment ranges from 31 students (lowest) to 529 students (highest), a spread of 498 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Louisburg student-counselor ratio is 280:1 — 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 Louisburg is typically wider than the Louisburg-aggregate figure suggests.
Louisburg chronic absenteeism rate is 20.9% — 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 Louisburg is typically wider than the Louisburg-aggregate figure suggests.
