District-Level NCES Analysis
Oneida operates 3 public schools serving 1,463 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Tennessee. 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 Scott County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,564 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 142 Tennessee districts by per-pupil spending. See how Tennessee compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.2% local, 51.6% state, and 26.2% 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 25/100, ranked #120 of 141 in Tennessee against a state average of 38, 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 (1 AP courses district-wide), a 299:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 18.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.5% White, 2.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Oneida Middle School, with a diversity index of 12.2/100.
Its largest campus is Oneida Elementary, enrolling 756 students (54% of the district's total enrollment).
Oneida Elementary accounts for 51.7% of all Oneida student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Oneida a distant remainder — means Oneida-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Oneida school enrollment varies 2.7× across entities
Oneida school enrollment ranges from 282 students (lowest) to 756 students (highest), a spread of 474 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.
Oneida student-counselor ratio is 299:1 — 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 Oneida is typically wider than the Oneida-aggregate figure suggests.
Oneida chronic absenteeism rate is 18.1% — 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 Oneida is typically wider than the Oneida-aggregate figure suggests.
