Miami R-I operates 1 public schools serving 72 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 67 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Saline County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,296 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 48.3% local, 29.3% state, and 22.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $112,606 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
and 20.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.0% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% African American across the district's schools.
Miami Elem. accounts for 100.0% of all Miami R-I student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Miami R-I-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
Miami R-I chronic absenteeism rate is 20.9% — 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 Miami R-I is typically wider than the Miami R-I-aggregate figure suggests.
