Montville School District operates 5 public schools serving 2,017 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Connecticut. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,882 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $25,839 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 53.6% local, 40.1% state, and 6.3% 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 $152,536 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 58/100, ranked #62 of 179 in Connecticut against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Leonard J. Tyl Middle School accounts for 27.6% of all Montville School District student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Montville School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: middle. 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.
Montville School District student-counselor ratio is 148:1 — 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.
Montville School District chronic absenteeism rate is 15.1% — 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 Montville School District is typically wider than the Montville School District-aggregate figure suggests.
