District-Level NCES Analysis
Evergreen Elem operates 2 public schools serving 651 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Flathead County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,266 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 394 Montana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Montana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.7% local, 39.9% state, and 27.4% 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 58/100, ranked #21 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 322.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 48.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.8% White, 9.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is East Evergreen School, enrolling 360 students (56% of the district's total enrollment).
East Evergreen School accounts for 55.3% of all Evergreen Elem student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Evergreen Elem a distant remainder — means Evergreen Elem-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.
Evergreen Elem student-counselor ratio is 323:1 — 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 Evergreen Elem is typically wider than the Evergreen Elem-aggregate figure suggests.
Evergreen Elem chronic absenteeism rate is 48.5% — 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.
