District-Level NCES Analysis
Mascoutah Cud 19 operates 5 public schools serving 4,152 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Illinois. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,514 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending.

Demographically, the student body averages 63.6% White, 11.2% Hispanic or Latino, 10.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Scott Elem School, with a diversity index of 64.5/100.

That dominant concentration means Mascoutah Cud 19-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Mascoutah Cud 19 school enrollment varies 2.9× across entities
Mascoutah Cud 19 school enrollment ranges from 424 students (lowest) to 1,243 students (highest), a spread of 819 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.
Mascoutah Cud 19 student-counselor ratio is 694:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Mascoutah Cud 19 chronic absenteeism rate is 11.7% — 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.
