District-Level NCES Analysis
Macks Creek R-V operates 2 public schools serving 339 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Camden County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,535 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 44.0% local, 31.9% state, and 24.1% 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 64/100, ranked #113 of 432 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 314:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 12.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.0% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Macks Creek Elem., enrolling 174 students (55% of the district's total enrollment).
Macks Creek Elem. accounts for 51.3% of all Macks Creek R-V student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Macks Creek R-V a distant remainder — means Macks Creek R-V-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Macks Creek R-V has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 98.3% 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). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding 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.
Macks Creek R-V student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — 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 Macks Creek R-V is typically wider than the Macks Creek R-V-aggregate figure suggests.
Macks Creek R-V chronic absenteeism rate is 12.3% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
