District-Level NCES Analysis

Peabody-Burns operates 2 public schools serving 228 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 206 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Marion County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,617 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 26.8% local, 65.1% state, and 8.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $83,413 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 78/100, ranked #11 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 102:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 25.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.2% White, 13.6% Hispanic or Latino, 2.4% African American across the district's schools.

Peabody-Burns Elementary accounts for 50.5% of all Peabody-Burns student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Peabody-Burns-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Peabody-Burns student-counselor ratio is 102:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Peabody-Burns chronic absenteeism rate is 25.2% — 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 Peabody-Burns is typically wider than the Peabody-Burns-aggregate figure suggests.
