District-Level NCES Analysis

Prescott School District operates 4 public schools serving 261 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $29,515 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 20.6% local, 67.2% state, and 12.3% 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 $146,515 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 85/100, ranked #11 of 240 in Washington against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 100.9:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 9.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.4% Hispanic or Latino, 28.8% White across the district's schools.

Prescott Elementary School accounts for 57.7% of all Prescott School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Prescott School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

Prescott School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 57.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Prescott School District student-counselor ratio is 101:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Prescott School District chronic absenteeism rate is 9.0% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
