District-Level NCES Analysis
Sheridan School District No. 2 operates 5 public schools serving 1,125 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Colorado. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 2 high, 1 combined 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 Arapahoe County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,752 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 180 Colorado districts by per-pupil spending. See how Colorado compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 41.1% local, 33.4% state, and 25.5% 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 78/100, ranked #14 of 142 in Colorado against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 114.6:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 50.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.7% Hispanic or Latino, 14.0% White, 3.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Early Childhood Education Center, with a diversity index of 53.7/100.
Its largest campus is Fort Logan Northgate, enrolling 338 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Soar Academy, at 78 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Fort Logan Northgate accounts for 30.0% of all Sheridan School District No. 2 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Sheridan School District No. 2-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.
Sheridan School District No. 2 school enrollment varies 4.3× across entities
Sheridan School District No. 2 school enrollment ranges from 78 students (lowest) to 338 students (highest), a spread of 260 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.
Sheridan School District No. 2 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 75.4% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Sheridan School District No. 2 student-counselor ratio is 115:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Sheridan School District No. 2 chronic absenteeism rate is 50.6% — 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.
