The district's equity score is 45/100, ranked #152 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 181:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 47.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.8% White, 8.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Rock Hills a distant remainder — means Rock Hills-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Rock Hills student-counselor ratio is 181:1 — 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.
Rock Hills chronic absenteeism rate is 47.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Rock Hills has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 385 students.
