District-Level NCES Analysis
Sturgeon R-V operates 4 public schools serving 1,445 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Boone County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $3,439 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 56 of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 50.8% local, 27.0% state, and 22.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 26/100, ranked #386 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 242.7:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.0% White, 3.9% African American, 2.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Moca-S, with a diversity index of 52.8/100.
Its largest campus is Moca-S, enrolling 2,345 students (85% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sturgeon Middle, at 79 students, a 30x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Moca-S accounts for 84.6% of all Sturgeon R-V student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Sturgeon R-V a distant remainder — means Sturgeon R-V-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.
Sturgeon R-V school enrollment varies 30× across entities
Sturgeon R-V school enrollment ranges from 79 students (lowest) to 2,345 students (highest), a spread of 2,266 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Sturgeon R-V student-counselor ratio is 243:1 — 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.
Sturgeon R-V chronic absenteeism rate is 26.8% — 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 Sturgeon R-V is typically wider than the Sturgeon R-V-aggregate figure suggests.
