Midvale District operates 2 public schools serving 149 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 150 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Washington County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,463 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 18.9% local, 62.4% state, and 18.8% 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 $99,706 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
a 625:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, . Demographically, the student body averages 96.0% White, 3.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Midvale School accounts for 91.3% of all Midvale District student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Midvale 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.
Midvale District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 55.6% 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.
Midvale District student-counselor ratio is 625:1 — 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.
