The free-lunch share is 8% below the North Dakota average and 50% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 60 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 6.7% 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.
