District-Level NCES Analysis

Robertson County operates 23 public schools serving 11,504 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 13 other, 5 elementary, 3 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 11,267 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Robertson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,316 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 29.8% local, 56.3% state, and 13.9% 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 $48,470 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 12/100, ranked #139 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 23 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 428.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% White, 26.0% Hispanic or Latino, 9.4% African American across the district's schools.

Robertson County school enrollment varies 45× across entities

Robertson County school enrollment ranges from 23 students (lowest) to 1,026 students (highest), a spread of 1,003 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.

Robertson County student-counselor ratio is 429:1 — 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.

Robertson County chronic absenteeism rate is 27.5% — 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 Robertson County is typically wider than the Robertson County-aggregate figure suggests.
