District-Level NCES Analysis
Clarksburg operates 1 public schools serving 189 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Massachusetts. 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 Berkshire County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,926 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 40 of 396 Massachusetts districts by per-pupil spending. See how Massachusetts compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 10.3% local, 78.1% state, and 11.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 1020:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.6% White, 2.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Clarksburg Elementary, enrolling 204 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Clarksburg Elementary accounts for 100.0% of all Clarksburg student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Clarksburg a distant remainder — means Clarksburg-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.
Clarksburg student-counselor ratio is 1020:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Clarksburg chronic absenteeism rate is 22.5% — 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 Clarksburg is typically wider than the Clarksburg-aggregate figure suggests.
