What this school's NCES data tells you

The free-lunch share is 16% below the North Dakota average and 54% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 88 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 9.1% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding Strasburg 15 spends $18,096 per pupil district-wide, below the North Dakota average of $18,450 and above the national average of $16,593.
