District-Level NCES Analysis
Alburg School District operates 1 public schools serving 203 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Vermont. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,562 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 102 Vermont districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 63/100, ranked #25 of 80 in Vermont against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Alburg Community Education Center accounts for 92.6% of all Alburg School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Alburg School District a distant remainder — means Alburg School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Alburg School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 53.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Alburg School District chronic absenteeism rate is 49.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
