District-Level NCES Analysis

MSD Martinsville Schools operates 10 public schools serving 4,053 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 other, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,998 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Morgan County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,539 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 22.2% local, 59.5% state, and 18.3% 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 $59,949 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 59/100, ranked #119 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 298.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 19.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.5% White, 3.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.

Martinsville High School accounts for 32.1% of all MSD Martinsville Schools student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means MSD Martinsville Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
