District-Level NCES Analysis

YELLOWSTONE 14 operates 2 public schools serving 92 students, placing it among the smaller districts in North Dakota. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 181 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in McKenzie County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,103 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 47.4% local, 44.0% state, and 8.5% 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 $125,956 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

a 155:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 17.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.7% White, 5.0% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% Asian across the district's schools.

Yellowstone Virtual Academy accounts for 65.7% of all YELLOWSTONE 14 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means YELLOWSTONE 14-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.

YELLOWSTONE 14 student-counselor ratio is 155:1 — 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.

YELLOWSTONE 14 chronic absenteeism rate is 17.7% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within YELLOWSTONE 14 is typically wider than the YELLOWSTONE 14-aggregate figure suggests.
