District-Level NCES Analysis
Park City Elem operates 2 public schools serving 224 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,725 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 394 Montana districts by per-pupil spending.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Park City Elem a distant remainder — means Park City Elem-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.

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 Park City Elem is typically wider than the Park City Elem-aggregate figure suggests.
Park City Elem chronic absenteeism rate is 21.2% — 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 Park City Elem is typically wider than the Park City Elem-aggregate figure suggests.
