District-Level NCES Analysis
Rsu 75/Msad 75 operates 7 public schools serving 2,380 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Maine. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 Sagadahoc County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,828 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 51.2% local, 43.7% state, and 5.1% 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 34/100, ranked #104 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.

That dominant concentration means Rsu 75/Msad 75-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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 75/Msad 75 school enrollment varies 5.5× across entities
Rsu 75/Msad 75 school enrollment ranges from 132 students (lowest) to 732 students (highest), a spread of 600 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 75/Msad 75 student-counselor ratio is 254:1 — 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 75/Msad 75 is typically wider than the Rsu 75/Msad 75-aggregate figure suggests.
Rsu 75/Msad 75 chronic absenteeism rate is 17.1% — 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 75/Msad 75 is typically wider than the Rsu 75/Msad 75-aggregate figure suggests.
