District-Level NCES Analysis

KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT operates 3 public schools serving 654 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 644 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Goodhue County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,639 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 30.0% local, 59.8% state, and 10.2% 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 $83,536 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 42/100, ranked #268 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 (4 AP courses district-wide), a 223:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 29.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.4% White, 8.6% Hispanic or Latino, 1.2% African American across the district's schools.

Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High accounts for 35.7% of all KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT student-counselor ratio is 223:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT chronic absenteeism rate is 29.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT is typically wider than the KENYON-WANAMINGO SCHOOL DISTRICT-aggregate figure suggests.
