Moffat County School District Re: No. 1 operates 7 public schools serving 2,092 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Colorado.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,071 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 180 Colorado districts by per-pupil spending. See how Colorado compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 55.5% local, 32.0% state, and 12.4% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 37/100, ranked #106 of 142 in Colorado against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

That concentration means Moffat County School District Re: No. 1-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

Moffat County School District Re: No. 1 student-counselor ratio is 258:1 — 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 Moffat County School District Re: No. 1 is typically wider than the Moffat County School District Re: No. 1-aggregate figure suggests.

Moffat County School District Re: No. 1 chronic absenteeism rate is 48.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
