District-Level NCES Analysis
Southeast Local operates 6 public schools serving 1,243 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Wayne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,656 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 981 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

That dominant concentration means Southeast Local-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.
Southeast Local school enrollment varies 4.6× across entities
Southeast Local school enrollment ranges from 100 students (lowest) to 459 students (highest), a spread of 359 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.
Southeast Local student-counselor ratio is 327:1 — 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 Southeast Local is typically wider than the Southeast Local-aggregate figure suggests.
Southeast Local chronic absenteeism rate is 15.9% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Southeast Local is typically wider than the Southeast Local-aggregate figure suggests.
