District-Level NCES Analysis
Weymouth operates 11 public schools serving 5,676 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Massachusetts. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 elementary, 1 high, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Norfolk County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $19,612 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 55.7% local, 35.3% state, and 8.9% 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 28/100, ranked #267 of 362 in Massachusetts against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (28 AP courses district-wide), a 252.6:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.0% White, 14.4% Hispanic or Latino, 8.7% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is William Seach, with a diversity index of 71.3/100.
Its largest campus is Weymouth High School, enrolling 1,679 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Johnson Early Childhood Center, at 222 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Weymouth High School accounts for 29.6% of all Weymouth student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Weymouth-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Weymouth school enrollment varies 7.6× across entities
Weymouth school enrollment ranges from 222 students (lowest) to 1,679 students (highest), a spread of 1,457 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.
Weymouth student-counselor ratio is 253:1 — 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 Weymouth is typically wider than the Weymouth-aggregate figure suggests.
Weymouth chronic absenteeism rate is 27.8% — 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 Weymouth is typically wider than the Weymouth-aggregate figure suggests.
