The funding mix is 37.5% local, 52.9% state, and 9.5% 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 $92,932 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 80/100, ranked #16 of 303 in Iowa against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 176.7:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.6% White, 3.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Southeast Warren Jr-Sr High School accounts for 52.1% of all Southeast Warren Comm School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Southeast Warren Comm School District-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 Warren Comm School District student-counselor ratio is 177:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
