District-Level NCES Analysis

SNAKE RIVER DISTRICT operates 9 public schools serving 2,888 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Idaho. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 2 high, 2 other, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,730 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Bingham County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $7,110 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 13.9% local, 67.1% state, and 18.9% 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 $37,915 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 16/100, ranked #139 of 139 in Idaho against a state average of 48 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 206:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, . Demographically, the student body averages 82.1% White, 14.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% Asian across the district's schools.

Snake River Online accounts for 46.9% of all SNAKE RIVER DISTRICT student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means SNAKE RIVER 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.

SNAKE RIVER DISTRICT student-counselor ratio is 206:1 — 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.
