Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,896 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 37.5% local, 36.1% state, and 26.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 41/100, ranked #116 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 258:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 10.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 59.1% African American, 37.4% White, 1.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Rayville High School, with a diversity index of 49.7/100.
Its largest campus is Mangham Elementary School, enrolling 404 students (15% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Delhi Middle School, at 91 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Richland Parish school enrollment ranges from 91 students (lowest) to 404 students (highest), a spread of 313 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.

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 Variation between sub-units within Richland Parish is typically wider than the Richland Parish-aggregate figure suggests.
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
This district has moderate funding equity. There may be room to improve funding diversity or resource allocation.
