District-Level NCES Analysis
Stevensville Elem operates 2 public schools serving 656 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Ravalli County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,480 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 40 of 393 Montana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Montana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 45.3% local, 44.5% state, and 10.2% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 16/100, ranked #134 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 331.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 55.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 87.2% White, 6.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.3% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Stevensville K-6, enrolling 518 students (78% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Stevensville 7-8, at 145 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Stevensville K-6 accounts for 78.1% of all Stevensville Elem student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Stevensville Elem a distant remainder — means Stevensville Elem-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Stevensville Elem student-counselor ratio is 332:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Stevensville Elem is typically wider than the Stevensville Elem-aggregate figure suggests.
Stevensville Elem chronic absenteeism rate is 55.2% — 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.
