District-Level NCES Analysis
Farmington River Reg operates 1 public schools serving 120 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 Berkshire County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $38,216 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.

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 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.
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.
