District-Level NCES Analysis

Evergreen Elem operates 2 public schools serving 651 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 645 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Flathead County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,500 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 32.7% local, 39.9% state, and 27.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $91,944 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 57/100, ranked #17 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 322.5:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.

East Evergreen School accounts for 55.8% of all Evergreen Elem student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Evergreen Elem-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
