District-Level NCES Analysis

Seekonk operates 5 public schools serving 2,094 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 1 middle, 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 Bristol County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,534 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 396 Massachusetts districts by per-pupil spending. See how Massachusetts compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 63.9% local, 28.8% state, and 7.3% 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 37/100, ranked #191 of 362 in Massachusetts against a state average of 38, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 311.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.4% White, 6.8% Asian, 5.8% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Its largest campus is Mildred Aitken School, enrolling 578 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Seekonk Transitions Academy, at 6 students, a 96x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Mildred Aitken School accounts for 27.6% of all Seekonk student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Seekonk-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.

Seekonk school enrollment varies 96× across entities

Seekonk school enrollment ranges from 6 students (lowest) to 578 students (highest), a spread of 572 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Seekonk student-counselor ratio is 312:1 — 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 Seekonk is typically wider than the Seekonk-aggregate figure suggests.

Seekonk chronic absenteeism rate is 20.0% — 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 Seekonk is typically wider than the Seekonk-aggregate figure suggests.
