District-Level NCES Analysis
Coventry School District operates 5 public schools serving 1,657 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Connecticut. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 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 Capitol Planning Region.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,069 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 191 Connecticut districts by per-pupil spending. See how Connecticut compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 57.5% local, 37.1% state, and 5.4% 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 43/100, ranked #112 of 174 in Connecticut against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
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. Its most demographically mixed campus is Capt. Nathan Hale School, with a diversity index of 33.0/100.
Its largest campus is Coventry High School, enrolling 395 students (26% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Coventry Academy, at 11 students, a 36x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Coventry High School accounts for 23.8% of all Coventry School District student enrollment
That concentration 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 — 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.
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.
Coventry School District has 5 schools, including 1 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 1,657 students.
