District-Level NCES Analysis
Moundridge operates 3 public schools serving 499 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Mcpherson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,868 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 29 of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.2% local, 54.5% state, and 5.3% 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 10/100, ranked #248 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 524.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 17.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That dominant concentration means Moundridge-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.
Moundridge student-counselor ratio is 525:1 — 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.
Moundridge chronic absenteeism rate is 17.6% — 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 Moundridge is typically wider than the Moundridge-aggregate figure suggests.
