Student-teacher ratio in context
How Strasburg Elementary School compares with North Dakota and U.S. medians
What stands out at Strasburg Elementary School
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Strasburg Elementary School sits near the smaller end of the North Dakota 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
Strasburg Elementary School's economic-need measure is not at a state extreme, while its Resource Investment Index is. The campus outranks most North Dakota 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.
Attendance is a relative strength
9.1% of Strasburg Elementary School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
