District-Level NCES Analysis
Edgartown operates 1 public schools serving 404 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 Dukes County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $33,310 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 40 of 396 Massachusetts districts by per-pupil spending. See how Massachusetts compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 59.8% local, 37.1% state, and 3.1% 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 62/100, ranked #8 of 362 in Massachusetts against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 145.7:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 40.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.4% White, 29.1% Hispanic or Latino, 5.9% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Edgartown Elementary, enrolling 357 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Edgartown Elementary accounts for 88.4% of all Edgartown student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Edgartown a distant remainder — means Edgartown-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.
Edgartown student-counselor ratio is 146:1 — 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.
Edgartown chronic absenteeism rate is 40.1% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
