District-Level NCES Analysis
Enderlin Area 24 operates 3 public schools serving 309 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 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 Ransom County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,203 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 168 North Dakota districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Dakota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 31.3% local, 47.2% state, and 21.5% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 77/100, ranked #15 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 154:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 21.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 98.0% White, 1.1% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Enderlin Area High School, with a diversity index of 7.6/100.
Its largest campus is Enderlin Area High School, enrolling 154 students (51% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Grant Colony School, at 12 students, a 13x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Enderlin Area High School accounts for 49.8% of all Enderlin Area 24 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Enderlin Area 24 a distant remainder — means Enderlin Area 24-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.
Enderlin Area 24 school enrollment varies 13× across entities
Enderlin Area 24 school enrollment ranges from 12 students (lowest) to 154 students (highest), a spread of 142 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Enderlin Area 24 student-counselor ratio is 154:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Enderlin Area 24 chronic absenteeism rate is 21.5% — 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 Enderlin Area 24 is typically wider than the Enderlin Area 24-aggregate figure suggests.
