District-Level NCES Analysis
Intermediate School District 917 operates 14 public schools serving 668 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 12 combined, 2 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol.

The funding mix is 25.3% local, 73.6% state, and 1.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 37.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 51.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 43.7% White, 24.7% African American, 16.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Tea, with a diversity index of 73.2/100.
Its largest campus is 917 Transitional Education Serv Alt, enrolling 133 students (22% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is New Chance, at 3 students, a 44x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
917 Transitional Education Serv Alt accounts for 19.9% of all Intermediate School District 917 student enrollment
That concentration means Intermediate School District 917-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.
Intermediate School District 917 school enrollment varies 44× across entities
Intermediate School District 917 school enrollment ranges from 3 students (lowest) to 133 students (highest), a spread of 130 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Intermediate School District 917 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 50.0% 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.
Intermediate School District 917 student-counselor ratio is 37:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Intermediate School District 917 chronic absenteeism rate is 51.0% — 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.
