District-Level NCES Analysis
Rsu 28/Msad 28 operates 2 public schools serving 738 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Maine. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,472 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 203 Maine districts by per-pupil spending. See how Maine compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 85.1% local, 11.1% state, and 3.8% 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 53/100, ranked #53 of 131 in Maine against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 344:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 29.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Camden-Rockport Middle School accounts for 47.2% of all Rsu 28/Msad 28 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Rsu 28/Msad 28 a distant remainder — means Rsu 28/Msad 28-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Rsu 28/Msad 28 student-counselor ratio is 344:1 — 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 Rsu 28/Msad 28 is typically wider than the Rsu 28/Msad 28-aggregate figure suggests.
Rsu 28/Msad 28 chronic absenteeism rate is 29.6% — 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 Rsu 28/Msad 28 is typically wider than the Rsu 28/Msad 28-aggregate figure suggests.
