WASHINGTON operates 10 public schools serving 3,720 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 3 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,543 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Franklin County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,856 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 74.1% local, 13.6% state, and 12.3% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $69,069 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 52/100, ranked #199 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (37 AP courses district-wide), a 221.5:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 15.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 93.0% White, 2.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Washington High School accounts for 35.6% of all WASHINGTON student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means WASHINGTON-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.
WASHINGTON school enrollment varies 12× across entities
WASHINGTON school enrollment ranges from 104 students (lowest) to 1,263 students (highest), a spread of 1,159 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.
WASHINGTON student-counselor ratio is 222:1 — 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.
WASHINGTON chronic absenteeism rate is 15.2% — 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 WASHINGTON is typically wider than the WASHINGTON-aggregate figure suggests.
