District-Level NCES Analysis

LAMOURE 8 operates 3 public schools serving 260 students, placing it among the smaller districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 295 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in LaMoure County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,743 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 36.1% local, 49.4% state, and 14.5% 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 $84,293 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 71/100, ranked #17 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 210.7:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 18.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.3% White, 2.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% African American across the district's schools.

Lamoure Elementary School accounts for 53.2% of all LAMOURE 8 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means LAMOURE 8-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.

LAMOURE 8 student-counselor ratio is 211:1 — 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.

LAMOURE 8 chronic absenteeism rate is 18.8% — 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 LAMOURE 8 is typically wider than the LAMOURE 8-aggregate figure suggests.
