District-Level NCES Analysis
Goodhue County Education District operates 6 public schools serving 306 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 middle 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 Goodhue County.
The funding mix is 56.5% local, 29.5% state, and 13.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 269.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 56.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.0% White, 8.1% African American, 6.0% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Reach Programs, with a diversity index of 49.5/100.
Its largest campus is 5riversonline Secondary, enrolling 188 students (49% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Pathways Program Grades 6-7, at 10 students, a 19x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
5riversonline Secondary accounts for 49.2% of all Goodhue County Education District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Goodhue County Education District a distant remainder — means Goodhue County Education 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.
Goodhue County Education District school enrollment varies 19× across entities
Goodhue County Education District school enrollment ranges from 10 students (lowest) to 188 students (highest), a spread of 178 students.

Goodhue County Education District student-counselor ratio is 269:1 — 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 Goodhue County Education District is typically wider than the Goodhue County Education District-aggregate figure suggests.
Goodhue County Education District chronic absenteeism rate is 56.6% — 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.
