Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,436 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 848 Illinois districts by per-pupil spending. See how Illinois compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 71.9% local, 26.0% state, and 2.1% 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 37/100, ranked #412 of 763 in Illinois against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 755:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 9.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.6% White, 9.9% Hispanic or Latino, 7.1% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Jefferson School, with a diversity index of 50.3/100.
Its largest campus is Emerson Middle School, enrolling 890 students (19% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Jefferson School, at 154 students, a 6x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Emerson Middle School accounts for 19.1% of all Park Ridge Ccsd 64 student enrollment
That concentration means Park Ridge Ccsd 64-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: middle. 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.
Park Ridge Ccsd 64 school enrollment varies 5.8× across entities
Park Ridge Ccsd 64 school enrollment ranges from 154 students (lowest) to 890 students (highest), a spread of 736 students. That spread sits on the tighter side of typical variation, though it still 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.
Park Ridge Ccsd 64 student-counselor ratio is 755:1: well above typical (strongly associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 the benchmark warrant a closer look at the underlying sub-units rather than treating the aggregate as representative.
Park Ridge Ccsd 64 chronic absenteeism rate is 9.5%: well below typical (strongly associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 the benchmark often reflect a distinctive local circumstance rather than ordinary scale differences.
