District-Level NCES Analysis
Eastmont School District operates 11 public schools serving 6,032 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 elementary, 3 combined, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Douglas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,560 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.3% local, 65.8% state, and 13.9% 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 45/100, ranked #136 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 416.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 56.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 52.4% Hispanic or Latino, 43.9% White, 1.2% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sterling Junior High School, with a diversity index of 55.1/100.
Its largest campus is Eastmont Senior High, enrolling 1,534 students (26% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Eastmont Academy, at 10 students, a 153x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Eastmont Senior High accounts for 25.4% of all Eastmont School District student enrollment
That concentration means Eastmont 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.
Eastmont School District school enrollment varies 153× across entities
Eastmont School District school enrollment ranges from 10 students (lowest) to 1,534 students (highest), a spread of 1,524 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Eastmont School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 55.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Eastmont School District student-counselor ratio is 416:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Eastmont School District chronic absenteeism rate is 56.5% — 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.
Eastmont School District has 11 schools, including 1 high, 3 combined, 7 elementary. Total enrollment is 6,032 students.
