That figure sits 7% above the Missouri state mean of 12.9:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 13% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 17.6% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 62% below the Missouri average and 66% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 452 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 19.7% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Fox C-6 spends $11,842 per pupil district-wide, below the Missouri average of $15,248 and below the national average of $19,490.

Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 44/100 (D), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
