District-Level NCES Analysis
Noble Local operates 2 public schools serving 973 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Noble County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,716 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 66.1% local, 24.9% state, and 9.0% 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 62/100, ranked #164 of 821 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 464.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 27.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.2% White, 0.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Shenandoah Elementary School, enrolling 809 students (77% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Shenandoah High School, at 240 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Shenandoah Elementary School accounts for 77.1% of all Noble Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Noble Local a distant remainder — means Noble Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Noble Local student-counselor ratio is 465:1 — 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.
Noble Local chronic absenteeism rate is 27.9% — 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 Noble Local is typically wider than the Noble Local-aggregate figure suggests.
