District-Level NCES Analysis
Osawatomie operates 5 public schools serving 1,063 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 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 Miami County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,089 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 28.7% local, 63.6% state, and 7.6% 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 69/100, ranked #42 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 265.3:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 37.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.7% White, 6.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Osawatomie Middle School, with a diversity index of 31.4/100.
Its largest campus is Trojan Elem, enrolling 341 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Osawatomie Virtual School, at 18 students, a 19x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

That dominant concentration means Osawatomie-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Osawatomie school enrollment varies 19× across entities
Osawatomie school enrollment ranges from 18 students (lowest) to 341 students (highest), a spread of 323 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Osawatomie student-counselor ratio is 265:1 — 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 Osawatomie is typically wider than the Osawatomie-aggregate figure suggests.
Osawatomie chronic absenteeism rate is 37.5% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
