District-Level NCES Analysis
Aspen Academy operates 1 public schools serving 647 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary 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 Scott County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,547 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 51 of 504 Minnesota districts by per-pupil spending. See how Minnesota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 2.9% local, 88.1% state, and 9.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 27/100, ranked #364 of 410 in Minnesota against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 641:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 17.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.6% White, 26.7% African American, 13.4% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Aspen Academy, enrolling 641 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Aspen Academy accounts for 99.1% of all Aspen Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Aspen Academy a distant remainder — means Aspen Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Aspen Academy student-counselor ratio is 641:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Aspen Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 17.6% — 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 Aspen Academy is typically wider than the Aspen Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Aspen Academy has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 647 students.
