District-Level NCES Analysis
Hinsdale School District operates 3 public schools serving 527 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Hampshire. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Cheshire County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,218 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 161 New Hampshire districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Hampshire compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 46.8% local, 38.5% state, and 14.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 86/100, ranked #1 of 114 in New Hampshire against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 172.7:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 44.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.8% White, 3.2% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hinsdale High School, with a diversity index of 27.7/100.
Its largest campus is Hinsdale Elementary School, enrolling 242 students (47% of the district's total enrollment).
Hinsdale Elementary School accounts for 45.9% of all Hinsdale School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Hinsdale School District a distant remainder — means Hinsdale School District-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.
Hinsdale School District school enrollment varies 2.0× across entities
Hinsdale School District school enrollment ranges from 121 students (lowest) to 242 students (highest), a spread of 121 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Hinsdale School District student-counselor ratio is 173:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Hinsdale School District chronic absenteeism rate is 44.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Hinsdale School District has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 527 students.
