District-Level NCES Analysis
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop operates 11 public schools serving 288 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 combined, 4 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Lyon County.
The funding mix is 36.3% local, 33.7% state, and 30.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one.
a 20.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 51.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 66.5% White, 20.1% Hispanic or Latino, 3.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Swwc Elc - Montevideo, with a diversity index of 55.8/100.
Its largest campus is Swwc Elc - Windom, enrolling 42 students (14% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Swwc Alc Midlevel - Windom, at 1 students, a 42x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop school enrollment varies 42× across entities
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 42 students (highest), a spread of 41 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 66.0% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop student-counselor ratio is 20:1 — 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.
Region 6 and 8-Sw/Wc Service Coop chronic absenteeism rate is 51.7% — 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.
