District-Level NCES Analysis
Minto 20 operates 2 public schools serving 308 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Walsh County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,581 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 17 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 22.1% local, 64.5% state, and 13.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 58/100, ranked #32 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 148:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 16.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.5% White, 31.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Minto Elementary School, enrolling 220 students (74% of the district's total enrollment).
Minto Elementary School accounts for 71.4% of all Minto 20 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Minto 20 a distant remainder — means Minto 20-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.
Minto 20 student-counselor ratio is 148:1 — 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.
Minto 20 chronic absenteeism rate is 16.6% — 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 Minto 20 is typically wider than the Minto 20-aggregate figure suggests.
