District-Level NCES Analysis
Trimble Local operates 4 public schools serving 729 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 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 Athens County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,543 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 97 of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 11.6% local, 70.0% state, and 18.4% 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 65/100, ranked #122 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 397.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 45.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.7% White, 0.3% African American, 0.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Trimble Learning Academy, with a diversity index of 37.5/100.
Its largest campus is Trimble Elementary School, enrolling 333 students (48% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Trimble Learning Academy, at 4 students, a 83x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Trimble Elementary School accounts for 45.7% of all Trimble Local student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Trimble Local a distant remainder — means Trimble 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.
Trimble Local school enrollment varies 83× across entities
Trimble Local school enrollment ranges from 4 students (lowest) to 333 students (highest), a spread of 329 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Trimble Local student-counselor ratio is 397:1 — 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.
Trimble Local chronic absenteeism rate is 45.5% — 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.
Trimble Local has 4 schools, including 1 combined, 2 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 729 students.
