District-Level NCES Analysis
Superior K-12 Schools operates 3 public schools serving 324 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,978 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 393 Montana districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 56/100, ranked #24 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 311.2:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 50.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Superior Elementary accounts for 57.1% of all Superior K-12 Schools student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Superior K-12 Schools a distant remainder — means Superior K-12 Schools-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.
Superior K-12 Schools school enrollment varies 4.3× across entities
Superior K-12 Schools school enrollment ranges from 43 students (lowest) to 185 students (highest), a spread of 142 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Superior K-12 Schools student-counselor ratio is 311:1 — 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 Superior K-12 Schools is typically wider than the Superior K-12 Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Superior K-12 Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 50.6% — 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.
Superior K-12 Schools has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 324 students.
