District-Level NCES Analysis

Lind School District operates 3 public schools serving 219 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 170 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Adams County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $29,552 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 19.6% local, 69.7% state, and 10.7% 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 $135,821 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 80/100, ranked #16 of 240 in Washington against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 95.3:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 31.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 54.7% White, 41.4% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% Asian across the district's schools.

Lind Elementary School accounts for 48.2% of all Lind School District student enrollment

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

Lind School District school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities

Lind School District school enrollment ranges from 41 students (lowest) to 82 students (highest), a spread of 41 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Lind School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 66.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Lind School District student-counselor ratio is 95:1 — 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.

Lind School District chronic absenteeism rate is 31.0% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
