District-Level NCES Analysis
Entiat School District operates 2 public schools serving 337 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Chelan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,198 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.8% local, 63.8% state, and 15.4% 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 62/100, ranked #69 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.
a 436:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.7% Hispanic or Latino, 36.9% White, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Paul Rumburg Elementary, enrolling 231 students (53% of the district's total enrollment).
Paul Rumburg Elementary accounts for 53.0% of all Entiat School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Entiat School District a distant remainder — means Entiat 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.
Entiat School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 62.3% 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.
Entiat School District student-counselor ratio is 436:1 — 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.
Entiat School District chronic absenteeism rate is 8.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Entiat School District has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 337 students.
