District-Level NCES Analysis

LAKELAND DISTRICT operates 11 public schools serving 4,693 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 other, 2 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,568 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Kootenai County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,498 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 26.4% local, 57.2% 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 $62,975 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 37/100, ranked #94 of 139 in Idaho against a state average of 48 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), a 314.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, . Demographically, the student body averages 87.4% White, 6.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% African American across the district's schools.

Lakeland Senior High School accounts for 18.2% of all LAKELAND DISTRICT student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means LAKELAND 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.

LAKELAND DISTRICT student-counselor ratio is 314:1 — 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 LAKELAND DISTRICT is typically wider than the LAKELAND DISTRICT-aggregate figure suggests.
