District-Level NCES Analysis
New Bloomfield R-Iii operates 2 public schools serving 665 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Callaway County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,782 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 55 of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending.

New Bloomfield Elem. accounts for 56.6% of all New Bloomfield R-Iii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of New Bloomfield R-Iii a distant remainder — means New Bloomfield R-Iii-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
New Bloomfield R-Iii student-counselor ratio is 356:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
New Bloomfield R-Iii chronic absenteeism rate is 21.1% — 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 New Bloomfield R-Iii is typically wider than the New Bloomfield R-Iii-aggregate figure suggests.
