District-Level NCES Analysis

Raceland-Worthington Independent operates 5 public schools serving 1,132 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kentucky. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other, 1 elementary, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,320 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 18.0% local, 67.0% state, and 15.0% 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 $63,269 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 50/100, ranked #82 of 171 in Kentucky against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 410.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.8% White, 7.9% African American, 1.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Raceland-Worthington Middle School accounts for 34.9% of all Raceland-Worthington Independent student enrollment

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