District-Level NCES Analysis
Mount Adams School District operates 3 public schools serving 889 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Yakima County.
The funding mix is 3.2% local, 61.4% state, and 35.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 368.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.2% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% White, 0.1% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mount Adams Middle School, with a diversity index of 57.5/100.
Its largest campus is Harrah Elementary School, enrolling 451 students (54% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Mount Adams Middle School, at 136 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Harrah Elementary School accounts for 50.7% of all Mount Adams School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Mount Adams School District a distant remainder — means Mount Adams School District-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.
Mount Adams School District school enrollment varies 3.3× across entities
Mount Adams School District school enrollment ranges from 136 students (lowest) to 451 students (highest), a spread of 315 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Mount Adams School District reports 98.6% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Mount Adams School District student-counselor ratio is 369:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Mount Adams School District chronic absenteeism rate is 24.0% — 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 Mount Adams School District is typically wider than the Mount Adams School District-aggregate figure suggests.
