District-Level NCES Analysis
Menlo Park Academy operates 1 public schools serving 518 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary 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 $9,940 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 99 of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 17.1% local, 73.6% state, and 9.3% 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 26/100, ranked #708 of 821 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 330:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 49.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Menlo Park Academy accounts for 63.7% of all Menlo Park Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Menlo Park Academy a distant remainder — means Menlo Park Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Menlo Park Academy student-counselor ratio is 330:1 — 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 Menlo Park Academy is typically wider than the Menlo Park Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Menlo Park Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 49.1% — 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.
Menlo Park Academy has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 518 students.
