District-Level NCES Analysis
Pratt operates 4 public schools serving 1,214 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 Pratt County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,729 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 286 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.4% local, 71.4% state, and 6.2% 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 30/100, ranked #210 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 430.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.9% White, 16.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Pratt Learning Center, with a diversity index of 56.0/100.
Its largest campus is Southwest Elem, enrolling 462 students (42% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Pratt Learning Center, at 15 students, a 31x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Southwest Elem accounts for 38.1% of all Pratt student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Pratt-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Pratt school enrollment varies 31× across entities
Pratt school enrollment ranges from 15 students (lowest) to 462 students (highest), a spread of 447 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Pratt student-counselor ratio is 431:1 — 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.
Pratt chronic absenteeism rate is 22.0% — 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 Pratt is typically wider than the Pratt-aggregate figure suggests.
