District-Level NCES Analysis

Coventry School District operates 5 public schools serving 1,657 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Connecticut. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,500 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Capitol Planning Region County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $22,561 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 57.5% local, 37.1% state, and 5.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $136,313 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 40/100, ranked #126 of 179 in Connecticut against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (16 AP courses district-wide), a 156.6:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 15.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.1% White, 10.5% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% Asian across the district's schools.

Coventry High School accounts for 26.3% of all Coventry School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Coventry 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.

Coventry School District school enrollment varies 36× across entities

Coventry School District school enrollment ranges from 11 students (lowest) to 395 students (highest), a spread of 384 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Coventry School District student-counselor ratio is 157:1 — 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.

Coventry School District chronic absenteeism rate is 15.3% — 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 Coventry School District is typically wider than the Coventry School District-aggregate figure suggests.
