District-Level NCES Analysis
Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd operates 1 public schools serving 107 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 Ontonagon County.
The funding mix is 42.9% local, 45.1% state, and 12.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
and 51.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.2% White across the district's schools.
Gogebicontonagon Isd Special Education accounts for 48.6% of all Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd a distant remainder — means Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd-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.
Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 68.8% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Gogebic-Ontonagon Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 51.9% — 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.
