District-Level NCES Analysis

Steubenville City operates 6 public schools serving 2,769 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other, 1 elementary, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,841 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Jefferson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,592 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 17.2% local, 59.6% state, and 23.2% 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 $61,876 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 40/100, ranked #506 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 330.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 16.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 56.7% White, 24.9% African American, 2.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Harding Middle School accounts for 27.9% of all Steubenville City student enrollment

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