District-Level NCES Analysis
Pomeroy School District operates 2 public schools serving 351 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. 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 Garfield County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,445 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending.

Pomeroy Elementary School accounts for 57.3% of all Pomeroy School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Pomeroy School District a distant remainder — means Pomeroy School District-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.
Pomeroy School District student-counselor ratio is 384:1 — 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.
Pomeroy School District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.3% — 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 Pomeroy School District is typically wider than the Pomeroy School District-aggregate figure suggests.
