District-Level NCES Analysis
Bloomfield School District operates 7 public schools serving 2,055 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Connecticut. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Capitol Planning Region.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $32,909 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 20 of 191 Connecticut districts by per-pupil spending. See how Connecticut compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 60.9% local, 30.3% state, and 8.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 85/100, ranked #3 of 174 in Connecticut against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 181.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 22.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 62.2% African American, 20.3% Hispanic or Latino, 10.1% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Wintonbury Early Childhood Magnet School, with a diversity index of 67.3/100.
Its largest campus is Bloomfield High School, enrolling 528 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Global Experience Magnet School, at 175 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bloomfield High School accounts for 25.7% of all Bloomfield School District student enrollment
That concentration means Bloomfield School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

Bloomfield School District school enrollment ranges from 175 students (lowest) to 528 students (highest), a spread of 353 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Bloomfield School District student-counselor ratio is 181:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Bloomfield School District chronic absenteeism rate is 22.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Bloomfield School District is typically wider than the Bloomfield School District-aggregate figure suggests.
