District-Level NCES Analysis
Colebrook School District operates 2 public schools serving 316 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Hampshire. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high 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 Coos County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,296 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 161 New Hampshire districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Hampshire compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 55.4% local, 30.6% state, and 14.0% 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 64/100, ranked #33 of 114 in New Hampshire against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 72:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 51.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.2% White, 5.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Colebrook Academy and Elementary School (E) accounts for 59.8% of all Colebrook School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Colebrook School District a distant remainder — means Colebrook 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.
Colebrook School District student-counselor ratio is 72:1 — 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.
Colebrook School District chronic absenteeism rate is 51.4% — 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.
