District-Level NCES Analysis
Revere operates 11 public schools serving 7,444 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 3 combined, 3 middle, 2 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Suffolk County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,856 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 12.7% local, 72.5% state, and 14.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 47/100, ranked #92 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 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (25 AP courses district-wide), a 268.2:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 35.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 64.1% Hispanic or Latino, 26.2% White, 3.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Abraham Lincoln, with a diversity index of 60.5/100.
Its largest campus is Revere High, enrolling 2,115 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Citylab Innovation High School, at 117 students, a 18x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Revere High accounts for 28.4% of all Revere student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Revere-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.
Revere school enrollment varies 18× across entities
Revere school enrollment ranges from 117 students (lowest) to 2,115 students (highest), a spread of 1,998 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Revere student-counselor ratio is 268:1 — 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 Revere is typically wider than the Revere-aggregate figure suggests.
Revere chronic absenteeism rate is 35.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
