District-Level NCES Analysis

POST FALLS DISTRICT operates 12 public schools serving 6,050 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 other, 2 high, 2 middle, 2 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 5,779 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Kootenai County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,110 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 15.8% local, 61.8% state, and 22.3% 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 $55,440 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 32/100, ranked #106 of 139 in Idaho against a state average of 48 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

. Demographically, the student body averages 87.6% White, 7.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.

Post Falls High School accounts for 27.7% of all POST FALLS DISTRICT student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means POST FALLS DISTRICT-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
