District-Level NCES Analysis
Skyline Schools operates 2 public schools serving 385 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kansas. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Pratt County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,423 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 285 Kansas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kansas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 24.1% local, 69.2% state, and 6.7% 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 43/100, ranked #167 of 250 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 309:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 31.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.9% White, 8.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Skyline Elem, enrolling 218 students (71% of the district's total enrollment).
Skyline Elem accounts for 56.6% of all Skyline Schools student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Skyline Schools a distant remainder — means Skyline Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Skyline Schools student-counselor ratio is 309:1 — 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 Skyline Schools is typically wider than the Skyline Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Skyline Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 31.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
