District-Level NCES Analysis
Lone Tree 6 operates 1 public schools serving 28 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined 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 Golden Valley County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,892 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 168 North Dakota districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Dakota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 36.9% local, 35.0% state, and 28.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 360:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.9% White, 5.6% African American, 2.8% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Golva Elementary School, enrolling 36 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Golva Elementary School accounts for 100.0% of all Lone Tree 6 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lone Tree 6 a distant remainder — means Lone Tree 6-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Lone Tree 6 student-counselor ratio is 360:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Lone Tree 6 chronic absenteeism rate is 22.2% — 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 Lone Tree 6 is typically wider than the Lone Tree 6-aggregate figure suggests.
