District-Level NCES Analysis

Wolf Point Elem operates 3 public schools serving 511 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Montana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 480 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Roosevelt County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,498 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 10.7% local, 35.8% state, and 53.5% 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 $81,818 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 63/100, ranked #10 of 141 in Montana against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

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.

Southside School accounts for 44.6% of all Wolf Point Elem student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Wolf Point Elem-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.

Wolf Point Elem student-counselor ratio is 160:1 — 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.

Wolf Point Elem chronic absenteeism rate is 66.2% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
