District-Level NCES Analysis
Socrates Academy operates 1 public schools serving 864 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Carolina. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,209 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 328 North Carolina districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Carolina compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.9% local, 65.4% state, and 4.7% 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 18/100, ranked #260 of 297 in North Carolina against a state average of 45, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Socrates Academy accounts for 100.0% of all Socrates Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Socrates Academy a distant remainder — means Socrates Academy-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. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Socrates Academy student-counselor ratio is 346:1 — 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 Socrates Academy is typically wider than the Socrates Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Socrates Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 7.7% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Socrates Academy has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 864 students.
