District-Level NCES Analysis
Wolf Point Elem operates 3 public schools serving 511 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 elementary, 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 Roosevelt County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,716 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 394 Montana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Montana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 10.7% local, 35.8% state, and 53.5% 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 68/100, ranked #6 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.
a 160:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 66.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 4.5% White, 4.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Wolf Point 7-8, with a diversity index of 42.9/100.
Its largest campus is Southside School, enrolling 214 students (45% of the district's total enrollment).
Southside School accounts for 41.9% of all Wolf Point Elem student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Wolf Point Elem-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.
Wolf Point Elem student-counselor ratio is 160:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Wolf Point Elem chronic absenteeism rate is 66.2% — 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.
