District-Level NCES Analysis
Warwick 29 operates 3 public schools serving 223 students, placing it among the smallest districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 elementary, 1 high 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 Benson County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $31,258 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 17 of 168 North Dakota districts by per-pupil spending. See how North Dakota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 4.1% local, 30.8% state, and 65.1% federal, an unusually federal-heavy mix, typically a marker of concentrated Title I eligibility or a small district reliant on federal impact-aid programs. The district's equity score is 95/100, ranked #2 of 101 in North Dakota against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 201:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 75.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 1.0% White, 0.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Warwick Middle School, with a diversity index of 7.4/100.
Its largest campus is Warwick Elementary School, enrolling 99 students (50% of the district's total enrollment).
Warwick Elementary School accounts for 44.4% of all Warwick 29 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Warwick 29-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Warwick 29 school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Warwick 29 school enrollment ranges from 48 students (lowest) to 99 students (highest), a spread of 51 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.
Warwick 29 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% 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 a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
Warwick 29 student-counselor ratio is 201:1 — 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.
Warwick 29 chronic absenteeism rate is 75.5% — 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.
