District-Level NCES Analysis

Remington-Whitewater operates 3 public schools serving 488 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 537 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Butler County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,689 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 33.9% local, 59.9% state, and 6.1% 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 $83,763 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 47/100, ranked #152 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 179:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.8% White, 5.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.7% African American across the district's schools.

Remington Elementary at Potwin accounts for 41.9% of all Remington-Whitewater student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Remington-Whitewater-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.

Remington-Whitewater student-counselor ratio is 179:1 — 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.

Remington-Whitewater chronic absenteeism rate is 16.8% — 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 Remington-Whitewater is typically wider than the Remington-Whitewater-aggregate figure suggests.
