What this school's NCES data tells you

Mark Twain Elementary School reports 254 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 18.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 18.4:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 1% above the Ohio state mean of 18.3:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 16% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 30.5% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 3% below the Ohio average and 41% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 423 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 24.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding Miamisburg City spends $14,570 per pupil district-wide, below the Ohio average of $16,867 and below the national average of $19,490.
