District-Level NCES Analysis
Coupeville School District operates 5 public schools serving 1,055 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 2 high, 1 middle 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 Island County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,319 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 24.7% local, 59.1% state, and 16.2% 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 69/100, ranked #49 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Coupeville School District a distant remainder — means Coupeville School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Coupeville School District school enrollment varies 246× across entities
Coupeville School District school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 492 students (highest), a spread of 490 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Coupeville School District student-counselor ratio is 302:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Coupeville School District is typically wider than the Coupeville School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Coupeville School District chronic absenteeism rate is 45.7% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
