District-Level NCES Analysis

MOSCOW DISTRICT operates 8 public schools serving 2,397 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,438 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Latah County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,591 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 42.9% local, 42.9% state, and 14.3% 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 $78,052 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 61/100, ranked #41 of 139 in Idaho against a state average of 48 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 268.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, . Demographically, the student body averages 82.7% White, 5.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.9% Asian across the district's schools.

Moscow High School accounts for 31.2% of all MOSCOW DISTRICT student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 student-counselor ratio is 268:1 — 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 MOSCOW DISTRICT is typically wider than the MOSCOW DISTRICT-aggregate figure suggests.
