District-Level NCES Analysis
Oran R-Iii operates 2 public schools serving 330 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 elementary 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 $10,295 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 43.1% local, 41.1% state, and 15.8% 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 37/100, ranked #314 of 432 in Missouri 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 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 152:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 6.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.3% White, 3.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Oran High School, enrolling 165 students (54% of the district's total enrollment).
Oran High School accounts for 50.0% of all Oran R-Iii student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Oran R-Iii a distant remainder — means Oran R-Iii-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.
Oran R-Iii student-counselor ratio is 152:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Oran R-Iii chronic absenteeism rate is 6.5% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
