District-Level NCES Analysis
Tri-Rivers operates 1 public schools serving 514 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Marion County.
The funding mix is 44.7% local, 44.9% state, and 10.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 194.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 54.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.9% White, 5.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Tri-Rivers Career Center, enrolling 583 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Tri-Rivers Career Center accounts for 100.0% of all Tri-Rivers student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Tri-Rivers a distant remainder — means Tri-Rivers-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Tri-Rivers student-counselor ratio is 194:1 — 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.
Tri-Rivers chronic absenteeism rate is 54.5% — 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.
