District-Level NCES Analysis

Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401 operates 8 public schools serving 2,620 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Vermont. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 2 elementary, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,574 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Chittenden County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,857 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 0.9% local, 93.8% state, and 5.3% 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 $107,560 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #63 of 80 in Vermont against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 209.8:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 23.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.1% White, 3.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools.

Mt. Mansfield Union High School accounts for 26.7% of all Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.

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.
