Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,791 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 49/100, ranked #370 of 821 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 352:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 43.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 58.0% White, 21.4% African American, 4.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Perry Elementary School, enrolling 408 students (58% of the district's total enrollment).
Perry Elementary School accounts for 56.4% of all Perry Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Perry Local a distant remainder — means Perry Local-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
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.
Perry Local student-counselor ratio is 352:1 — high (typically 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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Perry Local chronic absenteeism rate is 43.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Perry Local has 2 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 723 students.
