Horse Creek School

Horse Creek School, a public school district located in Cartwright, North Dakota, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.360). The district operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

Horse Creek School District #32 is a U.S. local government entity serving a rural school population. The district's federal footprint is narrow and consistent: twenty formula-grant awards dating to 2007, all from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. This represents 100% concentration with a single federal customer. The district has received annual awards under the program, with one award issued per fiscal year in the past five years (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). Combined federal obligation across all twenty awards totals $288 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of small rural districts. The most recent award was issued July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2027. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (September 30, 2026). The district does not maintain positions on government-wide contract vehicles, does not function as a subcontractor on federal awards, and does not compete for competitive federal contracts. Federal funding supports the Small, Rural School Achievement Program's objectives of improving academic outcomes and school operations in eligible rural districts.
