How Wing Elementary School compares with North Dakota and U.S. medians
What stands out at Wing Elementary School
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Wing 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.
Need and resources require a component-level read
Wing Elementary School falls within the wide middle of the North Dakota distribution on both free-meal eligibility and the Resource Investment Index. Neither measure supplies an honest headline by itself. The useful distinctions are in the components: classroom staffing, counselor availability, attendance, gifted-program access, and district spending. Those fields can pull in opposite directions even when the overall percentile looks ordinary.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Wing Elementary School 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.
Wing Elementary School is a lower-poverty, small combined-grade school in Wing, North Dakota, enrolling 40 students.
Classes run notably small here: at 5.7:1, Wing Elementary School is leaner than roughly 95% of North Dakota schools and 52% under the state's 11.8:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.
Economic need runs somewhat below the state's typical profile, with 15.4% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 40 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 498 scored North Dakota schools.
Among 27 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need North Dakota schools statewide, it ranks #21, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly White (93% of enrollment) (diversity index 14/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 400 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
12.5% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Wing 28 spends $24,833 per pupil, 35% above the North Dakota average, a better-resourced district than most.
Its district, Wing 28, also runs Wing High School (22 students).
