How Mullan Schools compares with Idaho and U.S. medians
What stands out at Mullan Schools
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Mullan Schools 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.
Resource indicators are the standout signal
Mullan Schools's economic-need measure is not at a state extreme, while its Resource Investment Index is. The campus outranks most Idaho schools on the combined reported-resource measure, so the differentiator comes from staffing, counselor access, gifted programming, or attendance rather than from an unusually low-need population alone. The component breakdown identifies which inputs actually produce that placement.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Mullan Schools serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Mullan Schools is a small combined-grade school in Mullan, Idaho, enrolling 95 students.
Classes run notably small here: at 7.3:1, Mullan Schools is leaner than roughly 97% of Idaho schools and 57% under the state's 17.1:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 34.1% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 95 puts it in the smaller third of Idaho schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index outscores 94% of the 775 Idaho schools with a score on record, a top-tier result on this measure.
Among 50 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Idaho schools statewide, it ranks #4, a top-tier result once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly White (82% of enrollment) (diversity index 32/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 95 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
