District-Level NCES Analysis

Mayfield City operates 7 public schools serving 4,263 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 3 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 Cuyahoga County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,914 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending.

That dominant concentration means Mayfield City-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.

Mayfield City school enrollment varies 14× across entities

Mayfield City school enrollment ranges from 110 students (lowest) to 1,504 students (highest), a spread of 1,394 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Mayfield City student-counselor ratio is 371:1 — 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.

Source: NCES Civil Rights Data Collection

Mayfield City chronic absenteeism rate is 20.2% — 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 Mayfield City is typically wider than the Mayfield City-aggregate figure suggests.
