District-Level NCES Analysis
Woodford County operates 7 public schools serving 4,010 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Kentucky. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 1 high, 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 Woodford County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,315 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 171 Kentucky districts by per-pupil spending. See how Kentucky compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 45.8% local, 39.7% state, and 14.5% 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 27/100, ranked #146 of 171 in Kentucky against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), a 386.9:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.3% White, 18.1% Hispanic or Latino, 3.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Simmons Elementary School, with a diversity index of 61.6/100.
Its largest campus is Woodford County High School, enrolling 1,223 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Safe Harbor Academy, at 33 students, a 37x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Woodford County High School accounts for 30.5% of all Woodford County student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Woodford County-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.
Woodford County school enrollment varies 37× across entities
Woodford County school enrollment ranges from 33 students (lowest) to 1,223 students (highest), a spread of 1,190 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Woodford County has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 51.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Woodford County student-counselor ratio is 387:1 — 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.
Woodford County chronic absenteeism rate is 20.6% — 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 Woodford County is typically wider than the Woodford County-aggregate figure suggests.
Woodford County has 7 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 5 combined. Total enrollment is 4,010 students.
