District-Level NCES Analysis
Monroe Local operates 4 public schools serving 2,845 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle 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 Butler County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,154 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 60.3% local, 30.4% state, and 9.3% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 10/100, ranked #797 of 806 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 600.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 29.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 71.8% White, 9.7% Hispanic or Latino, 6.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Monroe Primary School, with a diversity index of 50.7/100.
Its largest campus is Monroe Elementary School, enrolling 1,166 students (40% of the district's total enrollment).
Monroe Elementary School accounts for 39.9% of all Monroe Local student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Monroe Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Monroe Local school enrollment varies 2.6× across entities
Monroe Local school enrollment ranges from 440 students (lowest) to 1,166 students (highest), a spread of 726 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.
Monroe Local student-counselor ratio is 601:1 — 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.
Monroe Local chronic absenteeism rate is 29.4% — 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 Monroe Local is typically wider than the Monroe Local-aggregate figure suggests.
Monroe Local has 4 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,845 students.
