How Mountain Community School compares with Idaho and U.S. medians
What stands out at Mountain Community School
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Mountain Community School sits near the smaller end of the Idaho enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.
Student support operates inside a leaner district budget
Mountain Community School's district reports $10,341 in per-pupil expenditure, at least 15% below the Idaho average of $12,445. That district-wide constraint gives the campus-level support fields added meaning: counselor loads, specialist staffing, and program access are being reported within a comparatively lean spending environment. F-33 does not publish this school's own budget, so the comparison describes district context rather than dollars assigned to this building.
Mountain Community School is a small charter elementary school in Donnelly, Idaho, enrolling 68 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 13.6:1 puts it in the smaller third of Idaho schools by student-teacher ratio.
Enrollment of 68 puts it in the smaller third of Idaho schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 775 scored Idaho schools.
Its student body is predominantly White (91% of enrollment) (diversity index 17/100).
Mccall Community School Inc is a single-school charter district, so Mountain Community School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
