District-Level NCES Analysis
Rsu 64/Msad 64 operates 3 public schools serving 1,067 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Maine. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 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 Penobscot County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,146 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 203 Maine districts by per-pupil spending. See how Maine compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.3% local, 61.8% state, and 9.0% 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 36/100, ranked #99 of 131 in Maine against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 306.7:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 36.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 91.9% White, 2.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Central Middle School, with a diversity index of 19.2/100.
Central Community Elementary School accounts for 45.7% of all Rsu 64/Msad 64 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Rsu 64/Msad 64 a distant remainder — means Rsu 64/Msad 64-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.
Rsu 64/Msad 64 school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Rsu 64/Msad 64 school enrollment ranges from 230 students (lowest) to 488 students (highest), a spread of 258 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Rsu 64/Msad 64 student-counselor ratio is 307:1 — 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 64/Msad 64 is typically wider than the Rsu 64/Msad 64-aggregate figure suggests.
Rsu 64/Msad 64 chronic absenteeism rate is 36.5% — 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.
