District-Level NCES Analysis
Marceline R-V operates 3 public schools serving 658 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 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 Linn County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,424 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 56.3% local, 31.9% state, and 11.8% 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 20/100, ranked #416 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 396.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 4.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.5% White, 3.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Marceline High, enrolling 343 students (44% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 2.6% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (658 to 675 students), while the student-teacher ratio held roughly steady, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $8,143,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 58.9% went to instruction, 28.1% to support services, and 3.6% to capital outlay, a fairly typical instruction/support/capital split for a public school district. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Marceline High accounts for 43.6% of all Marceline R-V student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Marceline R-V-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.
Marceline R-V school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Marceline R-V school enrollment ranges from 135 students (lowest) to 343 students (highest), a spread of 208 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.
Marceline R-V student-counselor ratio is 396:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Marceline R-V chronic absenteeism rate is 4.0% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
