District-Level NCES Analysis
Parshall 3 operates 2 public schools serving 286 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Mountrail County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,573 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 168 North Dakota districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Dakota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 38.7% local, 35.3% state, and 26.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 75/100, ranked #17 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 140:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 56.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 16.8% White, 7.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Parshall Elementary School, enrolling 141 students (50% of the district's total enrollment).
Parshall Elementary School accounts for 49.3% of all Parshall 3 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Parshall 3 a distant remainder — means Parshall 3-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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Parshall 3 student-counselor ratio is 140:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Parshall 3 chronic absenteeism rate is 56.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
