The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 465 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Auglaize County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,849 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 38.6% local, 50.7% state, and 10.7% 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 $88,400 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 66/100, ranked #112 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 177.5:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.2% White, 2.4% African American, 0.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Waynesfield-Goshen Local Elementary School accounts for 52.7% of all Waynesfield-Goshen Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Waynesfield-Goshen Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Waynesfield-Goshen Local student-counselor ratio is 178:1 — 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.

Waynesfield-Goshen Local chronic absenteeism rate is 16.1% — 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 Waynesfield-Goshen Local is typically wider than the Waynesfield-Goshen Local-aggregate figure suggests.
