District-Level NCES Analysis
Louisiana R-Ii operates 3 public schools serving 721 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 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 Pike County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,508 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 56 of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 46.4% local, 30.2% state, and 23.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 40/100, ranked #286 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 150.8:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.8% White, 12.0% Hispanic or Latino, 11.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Louisiana Middle, with a diversity index of 48.5/100.
Its largest campus is Louisiana Elem., enrolling 343 students (50% of the district's total enrollment).
Louisiana Elem. accounts for 47.6% of all Louisiana R-Ii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Louisiana R-Ii a distant remainder — means Louisiana R-Ii-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Louisiana R-Ii school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Louisiana R-Ii school enrollment ranges from 151 students (lowest) to 343 students (highest), a spread of 192 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. 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.
Louisiana R-Ii student-counselor ratio is 151:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Louisiana R-Ii chronic absenteeism rate is 26.6% — 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 Louisiana R-Ii is typically wider than the Louisiana R-Ii-aggregate figure suggests.
