District-Level NCES Analysis
Pleasant View R-Vi operates 1 public schools serving 156 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Grundy County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,299 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 549 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 44.3% local, 39.3% state, and 16.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 790:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 6.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 99.4% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Pleasant View Elem., enrolling 158 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Pleasant View Elem. accounts for 100.0% of all Pleasant View R-Vi student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Pleasant View R-Vi a distant remainder — means Pleasant View R-Vi-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Pleasant View R-Vi student-counselor ratio is 790:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Pleasant View R-Vi chronic absenteeism rate is 6.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
