District-Level NCES Analysis
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District operates 4 public schools serving 1,249 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 elementary, 1 combined, 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 Goodhue County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,519 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 504 Minnesota districts by per-pupil spending. See how Minnesota compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 34.0% local, 59.0% state, and 7.0% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #307 of 410 in Minnesota against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 314.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 6.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.6% White, 4.6% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% African American across the district's schools.

Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High accounts for 32.1% of all Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District school enrollment ranges from 194 students (lowest) to 401 students (highest), a spread of 207 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.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District student-counselor ratio is 315:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District is typically wider than the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District chronic absenteeism rate is 6.9% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
