District-Level NCES Analysis

Madrid Comm School District operates 4 public schools serving 684 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Iowa. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 628 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Boone County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,337 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 33.3% local, 57.8% state, and 9.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $80,855 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 87/100, ranked #3 of 303 in Iowa against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 172.9:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.3% White, 5.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.

Madrid Elementary School accounts for 41.2% of all Madrid Comm School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Madrid Comm School District-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.

Madrid Comm School District student-counselor ratio is 173:1 — 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.

Madrid Comm School District chronic absenteeism rate is 17.2% — 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 Madrid Comm School District is typically wider than the Madrid Comm School District-aggregate figure suggests.
