What this school's NCES data tells you

Leeds Elementary School reports 96 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 12.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 8:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 32% below the North Dakota state mean of 11.7:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 49% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 24.0% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 15% below the North Dakota average and 54% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 192 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 10.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding Leeds 6 spends $17,844 per pupil district-wide, below the North Dakota average of $18,450 and above the national average of $16,593. Revenue comes 44.2% from local sources (property taxes), 41.7% from the state, and 14.2% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 58/100 (C), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
