District-Level NCES Analysis

NEW TOWN 1 operates 3 public schools serving 994 students, placing it among the smaller districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 931 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Mountrail County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $31,785 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 12.8% local, 19.5% state, and 67.7% 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 $102,770 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 89/100, ranked #4 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 310.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 5.6% White, 5.5% Hispanic or Latino, 3.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Edwin Loe Elementary School accounts for 58.6% of all NEW TOWN 1 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means NEW TOWN 1-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
