District-Level NCES Analysis

New Haven operates 3 public schools serving 502 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 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 Franklin County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,712 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 54.6% local, 33.2% state, and 12.2% 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 39/100, ranked #300 of 432 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

a 353.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.3% White, 3.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.1% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is New Haven Elem., with a diversity index of 18.4/100.

Its largest campus is New Haven Elem., enrolling 252 students (56% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is New Haven Middle, at 65 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

New Haven Elem. accounts for 50.2% of all New Haven student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of New Haven a distant remainder — means New Haven-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 Haven school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities

New Haven school enrollment ranges from 65 students (lowest) to 252 students (highest), a spread of 187 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.

New Haven student-counselor ratio is 353:1 — 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 Haven chronic absenteeism rate is 13.4% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
