District-Level NCES Analysis
Everett operates 10 public schools serving 7,377 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 3 combined, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Middlesex County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,710 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 396 Massachusetts districts by per-pupil spending. See how Massachusetts compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.5% local, 70.2% state, and 11.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 48/100, ranked #83 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 284:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 39.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.0% Hispanic or Latino, 14.0% White, 13.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Webster Extension, with a diversity index of 66.3/100.
Its largest campus is Everett High, enrolling 2,307 students (32% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Devens School, at 38 students, a 61x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Everett High accounts for 31.3% of all Everett student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Everett-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.
Everett school enrollment varies 61× across entities
Everett school enrollment ranges from 38 students (lowest) to 2,307 students (highest), a spread of 2,269 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Everett student-counselor ratio is 284:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Everett is typically wider than the Everett-aggregate figure suggests.
Everett chronic absenteeism rate is 39.1% — 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.
