District-Level NCES Analysis
Walnut Grove R-V operates 2 public schools serving 279 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Greene County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,470 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 552 Missouri districts by per-pupil spending. See how Missouri compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 42.9% local, 32.4% state, and 24.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #315 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 144.5:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 20.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.2% White, 0.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Walnut Grove High, enrolling 145 students (50% of the district's total enrollment).
Walnut Grove High accounts for 50.2% of all Walnut Grove R-V student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Walnut Grove R-V a distant remainder — means Walnut Grove R-V-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Walnut Grove R-V student-counselor ratio is 145:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Walnut Grove R-V chronic absenteeism rate is 20.1% — 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 Walnut Grove R-V is typically wider than the Walnut Grove R-V-aggregate figure suggests.
