District-Level NCES Analysis

MINOT 1 operates 21 public schools serving 7,715 students, placing it in the mid-size range in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 8 other, 5 elementary, 4 high, 4 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 7,422 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ward County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,899 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 29.3% local, 55.5% state, and 15.2% 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 $104,769 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 46/100, ranked #55 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 21 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 295.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 28.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 68.8% White, 12.0% Hispanic or Latino, 6.1% African American across the district's schools.

MINOT 1 student-counselor ratio is 296:1 — 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 MINOT 1 is typically wider than the MINOT 1-aggregate figure suggests.

MINOT 1 chronic absenteeism rate is 28.7% — 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 MINOT 1 is typically wider than the MINOT 1-aggregate figure suggests.
