District-Level NCES Analysis
Wadsworth City operates 8 public schools serving 4,464 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Medina County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,033 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 64.0% local, 30.3% state, and 5.7% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 24/100, ranked #720 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 469.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 26.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.1% White, 4.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Isham Memorial Elementary School, with a diversity index of 28.3/100.
Its largest campus is Wadsworth High School, enrolling 1,540 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lincoln Elementary School, at 195 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wadsworth High School accounts for 34.5% of all Wadsworth City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Wadsworth City-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.
Wadsworth City school enrollment varies 7.9× across entities
Wadsworth City school enrollment ranges from 195 students (lowest) to 1,540 students (highest), a spread of 1,345 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.
Wadsworth City student-counselor ratio is 469:1 — 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.
Wadsworth City chronic absenteeism rate is 26.3% — 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 Wadsworth City is typically wider than the Wadsworth City-aggregate figure suggests.
Wadsworth City has 8 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 4 elementary, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 4,464 students.
