What this school's NCES data tells you
Roosevelt Elementary School reports 175 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 10.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 3% above the North Dakota state mean of 11.7:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 25% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 26.7% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 5% below the North Dakota average and 48% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 438 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 16.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Minot 1 spends $16,899 per pupil district-wide, below the North Dakota average of $22,219 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 29.3% from local sources (property taxes), 55.5% from the state, and 15.2% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 38/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
