District-Level NCES Analysis
Tecumseh Public Schools operates 7 public schools serving 2,563 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 3 combined, 1 high 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 Lenawee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,757 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.7% local, 63.9% state, and 6.4% 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 45/100, ranked #419 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 230.1:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 45.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.1% White, 8.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Tecumseh Virtual Academy, with a diversity index of 36.0/100.
Its largest campus is Tecumseh Middle School, enrolling 900 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Tecumseh Virtual Academy, at 61 students, a 15x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Tecumseh Middle School accounts for 33.0% of all Tecumseh Public Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Tecumseh Public Schools-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.
Tecumseh Public Schools school enrollment varies 15× across entities
Tecumseh Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 61 students (lowest) to 900 students (highest), a spread of 839 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Tecumseh Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 230:1 — 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.
Tecumseh Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 45.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Tecumseh Public Schools has 7 schools, including 3 elementary, 1 high, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 2,563 students.
