Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,776 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 64.1% local, 23.4% state, and 12.4% 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 $105,732 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 #8 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
a 114.1:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 25.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.6% White, 6.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means SUPERIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS-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.

SUPERIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS school enrollment ranges from 88 students (lowest) to 214 students (highest), a spread of 126 students.

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.
SUPERIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 25.7% — 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 SUPERIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the SUPERIOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
