District-Level NCES Analysis

Southeast Local operates 6 public schools serving 1,243 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,335 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Wayne County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,694 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 60.1% local, 26.5% state, and 13.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $92,952 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 57/100, ranked #231 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 326.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 15.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.1% White, 3.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.

Apple Creek Elementary School accounts for 34.4% of all Southeast Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Southeast Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

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.
