District-Level NCES Analysis
Becker Public School District operates 5 public schools serving 2,863 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 1 middle, 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 Sherburne County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,461 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 504 Minnesota districts by per-pupil spending. See how Minnesota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 30.7% local, 60.9% state, and 8.4% 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 21/100, ranked #387 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 548.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.1% White, 2.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Becker Alternative Learning Program, with a diversity index of 27.8/100.
Its largest campus is Becker Senior High, enrolling 881 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Becker Alternative Learning Program, at 24 students, a 37x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Becker Senior High accounts for 30.6% of all Becker Public School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Becker Public School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Becker Public School District school enrollment varies 37× across entities
Becker Public School District school enrollment ranges from 24 students (lowest) to 881 students (highest), a spread of 857 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Becker Public School District student-counselor ratio is 548:1 — 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.
Becker Public School District chronic absenteeism rate is 23.7% — 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 Becker Public School District is typically wider than the Becker Public School District-aggregate figure suggests.
