District-Level NCES Analysis

St. Michael-Albertville Schools operates 11 public schools serving 6,670 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 3 high, 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 6,687 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Wright County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,698 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 23.0% local, 70.0% state, and 7.1% 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 $75,897 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 15/100, ranked #413 of 417 in Minnesota against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 766:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 28.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 76.7% White, 8.8% African American, 6.2% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

St. Michael-Albertville Senior High accounts for 33.0% of all St. Michael-Albertville Schools student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means St. Michael-Albertville Schools-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.

St. Michael-Albertville Schools student-counselor ratio is 766:1 — 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.

St. Michael-Albertville Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 28.8% — 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 St. Michael-Albertville Schools is typically wider than the St. Michael-Albertville Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
