District-Level NCES Analysis
Moscow District operates 8 public schools serving 2,397 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho.

These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Latah County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,116 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 171 Idaho districts by per-pupil spending.

That dominant concentration means Moscow District-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.
Moscow District school enrollment varies 36× across entities
Moscow District school enrollment ranges from 21 students (lowest) to 760 students (highest), a spread of 739 students.

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 Moscow District is typically wider than the Moscow District-aggregate figure suggests.
