District-Level NCES Analysis

HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY operates 3 public schools serving 2,406 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,503 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ramsey County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,319 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 0.7% local, 81.0% state, and 18.3% 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. The district's equity score — 67/100, ranked #86 of 417 in Minnesota against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 834.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 41.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 96.7% Asian, 1.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% African American across the district's schools.

Hmong College Prep Academy Es accounts for 39.5% of all HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 68.7% 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.

HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY student-counselor ratio is 834:1 — 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.

HMONG COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY chronic absenteeism rate is 41.8% — 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.
