District-Level NCES Analysis

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ellsworth Community School District a distant remainder — means Ellsworth Community School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates 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.
Ellsworth Community School District school enrollment varies 2.3× across entities
Ellsworth Community School District school enrollment ranges from 325 students (lowest) to 734 students (highest), a spread of 409 students.

Ellsworth Community School District student-counselor ratio is 211:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Ellsworth Community School District chronic absenteeism rate is 17.1% — 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 Ellsworth Community School District is typically wider than the Ellsworth Community School District-aggregate figure suggests.
