District-Level NCES Analysis
Cabot School District operates 1 public schools serving 164 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. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Washington County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,220 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 102 Vermont districts by per-pupil spending. See how Vermont compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 3.1% local, 96.9% state, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 68.2:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 56.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.0% White, 2.0% African American, 0.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Cabot School, enrolling 150 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Cabot School accounts for 91.5% of all Cabot School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cabot School District a distant remainder — means Cabot School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Cabot School District student-counselor ratio is 68:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Cabot School District chronic absenteeism rate is 56.7% — 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.
Cabot School District has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 164 students.
