District-Level NCES Analysis

Cooperative Educational Services operates 1 public schools serving 822 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Connecticut. 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 Greater Bridgeport Planning Region.

The funding mix is 85.2% local, 12.9% state, and 1.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.

a 441:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 18.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 44.9% Hispanic or Latino, 22.9% African American, 21.5% White across the district's schools.

Its largest campus is Six-Six Magnet School, enrolling 441 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).

Six-Six Magnet School accounts for 53.6% of all Cooperative Educational Services student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cooperative Educational Services a distant remainder — means Cooperative Educational Services-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.

Cooperative Educational Services student-counselor ratio is 441:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Cooperative Educational Services chronic absenteeism rate is 18.4% — 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 Cooperative Educational Services is typically wider than the Cooperative Educational Services-aggregate figure suggests.
