Per-pupil expenditure runs $39,408 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 74.0% local, 20.6% state, and 5.5% 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 124:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 29.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.9% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Farmington River Elementary, enrolling 124 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).

Farmington River Elementary accounts for 100.0% of all Farmington River Reg student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Farmington River Reg a distant remainder — means Farmington River Reg-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Farmington River Reg student-counselor ratio is 124:1 — 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.
Farmington River Reg chronic absenteeism rate is 29.0% — 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 Farmington River Reg is typically wider than the Farmington River Reg-aggregate figure suggests.
