District-Level NCES Analysis

Mattapoisett operates 2 public schools serving 435 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 381 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Plymouth County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $26,195 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 50.0% local, 37.5% state, and 12.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $149,002 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 47/100, ranked #96 of 362 in Massachusetts against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 190.5:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 25.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.8% White, 5.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Mattapoisett-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Mattapoisett student-counselor ratio is 191:1 — 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.

Mattapoisett chronic absenteeism rate is 25.9% — 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 Mattapoisett is typically wider than the Mattapoisett-aggregate figure suggests.
