District-Level NCES Analysis

LAKE PARK AUDUBON SCHOOL DISTRICT operates 2 public schools serving 722 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 663 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Becker County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,289 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 28.3% local, 55.3% state, and 16.4% 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 $75,102 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 45/100, ranked #248 of 417 in Minnesota against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 331.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 29.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 83.1% White, 3.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Lake Park Audubon Secondary accounts for 58.5% of all LAKE PARK AUDUBON SCHOOL DISTRICT student enrollment

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