District-Level NCES Analysis

Nordonia Hills City operates 7 public schools serving 3,454 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,405 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Summit County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,452 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 78.8% local, 12.8% state, and 8.4% 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 $93,370 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 48/100, ranked #371 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 324.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.8% White, 13.3% African American, 3.3% Asian across the district's schools.

Nordonia High School accounts for 35.9% of all Nordonia Hills City student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Nordonia Hills City-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.

Nordonia Hills City student-counselor ratio is 325:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Nordonia Hills City is typically wider than the Nordonia Hills City-aggregate figure suggests.

Nordonia Hills City chronic absenteeism rate is 13.9% — 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.
