District-Level NCES Analysis
Orange City operates 4 public schools serving 2,010 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Cuyahoga County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $26,052 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 84.1% local, 12.2% state, and 3.7% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 68/100, ranked #85 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (18 AP courses district-wide), a 298.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.8% White, 10.7% African American, 9.3% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Ballard Brady Middle School, with a diversity index of 53.6/100.
Its largest campus is Moreland Hills Elementary School, enrolling 918 students (45% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Orange Inclusive Preschool, at 33 students, a 28x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Moreland Hills Elementary School accounts for 45.2% of all Orange City student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Orange City a distant remainder — means Orange City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Orange City school enrollment varies 28× across entities
Orange City school enrollment ranges from 33 students (lowest) to 918 students (highest), a spread of 885 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Orange City student-counselor ratio is 298:1 — 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 Orange City is typically wider than the Orange City-aggregate figure suggests.
Orange City chronic absenteeism rate is 17.0% — 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 Orange City is typically wider than the Orange City-aggregate figure suggests.
Orange City has 4 schools, including 1 elementary, 2 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 2,010 students.
