District-Level NCES Analysis
Northmor Local operates 2 public schools serving 1,038 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. 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 Morrow County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,837 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 45.4% local, 36.5% state, and 18.2% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 51/100, ranked #325 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 495.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 25.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Northmor Elementary School accounts for 52.1% of all Northmor Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Northmor Local a distant remainder — means Northmor Local-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.
Northmor Local student-counselor ratio is 496:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Northmor Local chronic absenteeism rate is 25.0% — 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 Northmor Local is typically wider than the Northmor Local-aggregate figure suggests.
Northmor Local has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 1,038 students.
