District-Level NCES Analysis
Minnesota Department of Corrections operates 6 public schools serving 81 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 high, 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 Ramsey County.
a 53:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, . Demographically, the student body averages 61.4% African American, 15.3% White, 2.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mn Correctional Facility-St. Cloud, with a diversity index of 64.3/100.
Mcf-Red Wing Maginnis High School accounts for 60.2% of all Minnesota Department of Corrections student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Minnesota Department of Corrections a distant remainder — means Minnesota Department of Corrections-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Minnesota Department of Corrections school enrollment varies 27× across entities
Minnesota Department of Corrections school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 53 students (highest), a spread of 51 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Minnesota Department of Corrections has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 80.6% 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 — including this one — 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.
Minnesota Department of Corrections student-counselor ratio is 53:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
