District-Level NCES Analysis
Rock Creek operates 4 public schools serving 1,358 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 Pottawatomie County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,880 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 29 of 285 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.5% local, 73.1% state, and 6.4% 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 28/100, ranked #214 of 250 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 280.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.9% White, 5.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is St George Elem, with a diversity index of 21.1/100.
Its largest campus is Rock Creek Middle School, enrolling 415 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Westmoreland Elem, at 126 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Rock Creek Middle School accounts for 30.6% of all Rock Creek student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Rock Creek-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.
Rock Creek school enrollment varies 3.3× across entities
Rock Creek school enrollment ranges from 126 students (lowest) to 415 students (highest), a spread of 289 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.
Rock Creek student-counselor ratio is 281:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Rock Creek is typically wider than the Rock Creek-aggregate figure suggests.
Rock Creek chronic absenteeism rate is 13.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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.
Rock Creek has 4 schools, including 1 high, 1 elementary, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 1,358 students.
