Winnett K-12 Schools operates 3 public schools serving 60 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 69 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Petroleum County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $25,031 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 36.0% local, 46.9% state, and 17.1% 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 $154,219 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), and 12.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 98.2% White, 1.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Winnett School accounts for 53.6% of all Winnett K-12 Schools student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Winnett K-12 Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.
Winnett K-12 Schools school enrollment varies 2.8× across entities
Winnett K-12 Schools school enrollment ranges from 13 students (lowest) to 37 students (highest), a spread of 24 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.
Winnett K-12 Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 12.1% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
