National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Nine Mile Falls has more public-school enrollment than 5% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Lakeside High School enrolls 35.6% of Nine Mile Falls's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Secondary campuses occupy an unusually large share

2 of the 5 listed Nine Mile Falls schools are classified as high schools, a substantial share of the local portfolio. Advanced-course access, counseling, and graduation-stage staffing therefore have more weight in the city Resource Index average than they do in an elementary-heavy system.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Nine Mile Falls lists only 5 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 5 to 494 students, a 99-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Lakeside High School accounts for 35.6% of all Nine Mile Falls public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Nine Mile Falls-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Nine Mile Falls school enrollment varies 99× across entities

Nine Mile Falls school enrollment ranges from 5 students (lowest) to 494 students (highest), a spread of 489 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Nine Mile Falls operates one school district — a single-district system

Nine Mile Falls's listed schools share one district boundary, budget authority, and reporting chain. That makes citywide and districtwide governance easier to compare, but it does not make individual campuses uniform: grade configuration, staffing, programs, and student need can still vary materially within the same school district.

Nine Mile Falls student-teacher ratio is 16.4:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Nine Mile Falls is typically wider than the Nine Mile Falls-aggregate figure suggests.
