District-Level NCES Analysis
Northeast School Corp operates 3 public schools serving 770 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Indiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Sullivan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,149 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 406 Indiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Indiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.5% local, 56.7% state, and 10.8% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #289 of 373 in Indiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 196.2:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 28.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.3% White, 1.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is North Central Jr/Sr High School, with a diversity index of 9.8/100.
North Central Jr/Sr High School accounts for 47.7% of all Northeast School Corp student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Northeast School Corp a distant remainder — means Northeast School Corp-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.
Northeast School Corp school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Northeast School Corp school enrollment ranges from 167 students (lowest) to 369 students (highest), a spread of 202 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.
Northeast School Corp has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Northeast School Corp student-counselor ratio is 196:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Northeast School Corp chronic absenteeism rate is 28.2% — 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 Northeast School Corp is typically wider than the Northeast School Corp-aggregate figure suggests.
Northeast School Corp has 3 schools, including 3 combined. Total enrollment is 770 students.
