The district's equity score is 55/100, ranked #112 of 252 in Kansas against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 164.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 18.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.2% Hispanic or Latino, 33.3% White, 0.9% African American across the district's schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Stanton County a distant remainder — means Stanton County-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.
Stanton County student-counselor ratio is 165:1 — 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.
Stanton County chronic absenteeism rate is 18.6% — 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 Stanton County is typically wider than the Stanton County-aggregate figure suggests.
Stanton County has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 423 students.
