District-Level NCES Analysis
Seacoast Charter School operates 1 public schools serving 299 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Hampshire. The school portfolio breaks down into 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 Strafford County.
a 287:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 45.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.5% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.8% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Seacoast Charter School, enrolling 287 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Seacoast Charter School accounts for 96.0% of all Seacoast Charter School student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Seacoast Charter School a distant remainder — means Seacoast Charter School-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.
Seacoast Charter School student-counselor ratio is 287:1 — 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 Seacoast Charter School is typically wider than the Seacoast Charter School-aggregate figure suggests.
Seacoast Charter School chronic absenteeism rate is 45.3% — 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.
