Cherokee Village’s K–12 school district, shared with Ash Flat, Hardy, Highland, Williford. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,274 per pupil, $7,954 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Arkansas districts overall: 16% local, 70% state, 14% federal.

No comparison or trend for Cherokee Village yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Cherokee Village’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
