District-Level NCES Analysis
Tecumseh Local operates 5 public schools serving 2,695 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 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 Clark County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,208 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.1% local, 56.8% state, and 14.1% 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 40/100, ranked #493 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 356.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 29.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.7% White, 17.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is New Carlisle Elementary School, with a diversity index of 41.9/100.
Its largest campus is Tecumseh High School, enrolling 721 students (28% of the district's total enrollment).
Tecumseh High School accounts for 26.8% of all Tecumseh Local student enrollment
That concentration means Tecumseh Local-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.
Tecumseh Local school enrollment varies 2.2× across entities
Tecumseh Local school enrollment ranges from 333 students (lowest) to 721 students (highest), a spread of 388 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Tecumseh Local student-counselor ratio is 356:1 — 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.
Tecumseh Local chronic absenteeism rate is 29.0% — 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 Tecumseh Local is typically wider than the Tecumseh Local-aggregate figure suggests.
Tecumseh Local has 5 schools, including 1 combined, 4 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,695 students.
