District-Level NCES Analysis
Millis operates 4 public schools serving 1,221 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 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 Norfolk County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,550 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 63.5% local, 29.7% state, and 6.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 46/100, ranked #107 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (23 AP courses district-wide), a 264.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 14.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.6% White, 8.0% Hispanic or Latino, 5.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Clyde F Brown, with a diversity index of 40.8/100.
Its largest campus is Clyde F Brown, enrolling 603 students (52% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Ties, at 5 students, a 121x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Clyde F Brown accounts for 49.4% of all Millis student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Millis a distant remainder — means Millis-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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Millis school enrollment varies 121× across entities
Millis school enrollment ranges from 5 students (lowest) to 603 students (highest), a spread of 598 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.
Millis student-counselor ratio is 264:1 — 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 Millis is typically wider than the Millis-aggregate figure suggests.
Millis chronic absenteeism rate is 14.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
