District-Level NCES Analysis
Menifee County operates 3 public schools serving 955 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kentucky. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high 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 Menifee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,406 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 18 of 171 Kentucky districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kentucky compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 14.0% local, 61.0% state, and 25.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 92/100, ranked #4 of 171 in Kentucky against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 325:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 46.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.9% White, 9.7% African American, 1.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Frenchburg Success Academy, with a diversity index of 40.8/100.
Its largest campus is Menifee Central School, enrolling 548 students (59% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Frenchburg Success Academy, at 7 students, a 78x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Menifee Central School accounts for 57.4% of all Menifee County student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Menifee County a distant remainder — means Menifee County-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Menifee County school enrollment varies 78× across entities
Menifee County school enrollment ranges from 7 students (lowest) to 548 students (highest), a spread of 541 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Menifee County reports 77.1% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Menifee County student-counselor ratio is 325:1 — 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 Menifee County is typically wider than the Menifee County-aggregate figure suggests.
Menifee County chronic absenteeism rate is 46.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Menifee County has 3 schools, including 2 combined, 1 high. Total enrollment is 955 students.
