District-Level NCES Analysis
Rsu 67 operates 3 public schools serving 940 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Maine. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary 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 $15,582 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 33.7% local, 33.5% state, and 32.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 48/100, ranked #68 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (7 AP courses district-wide), a 261.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 43.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.6% White, 1.4% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Ella P Burr School, with a diversity index of 10.0/100.
Its largest campus is Ella P Burr School, enrolling 324 students (34% of the district's total enrollment).
Ella P Burr School accounts for 34.4% of all Rsu 67 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Rsu 67-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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 67 student-counselor ratio is 262:1 — 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 67 is typically wider than the Rsu 67-aggregate figure suggests.
Rsu 67 chronic absenteeism rate is 43.3% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
