District-Level NCES Analysis
Southern Hills operates 1 public schools serving 447 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. 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. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Brown County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,291 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 38.3% local, 54.5% state, and 7.2% 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 59/100, ranked #204 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 488:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 65.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.5% White, 0.4% African American, 0.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Southern Hills a distant remainder — means Southern Hills-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.
Southern Hills student-counselor ratio is 488:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Southern Hills chronic absenteeism rate is 65.2% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
