District-Level NCES Analysis
Lincoln County H S operates 1 public schools serving 306 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Lincoln County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,488 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 40 of 394 Montana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Montana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 44.1% local, 55.1% state, and 0.8% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 26/100, ranked #109 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 273:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 44.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.3% White, 7.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Lincoln Co High School, enrolling 273 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Lincoln Co High School accounts for 89.2% of all Lincoln County H S student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lincoln County H S a distant remainder — means Lincoln County H S-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.
Lincoln County H S student-counselor ratio is 273:1 — 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 Lincoln County H S is typically wider than the Lincoln County H S-aggregate figure suggests.
Lincoln County H S chronic absenteeism rate is 44.0% — 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.
