District-Level NCES Analysis
Windsor School District operates 6 public schools serving 3,337 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Connecticut. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Capitol Planning Region.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,518 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 191 Connecticut districts by per-pupil spending. See how Connecticut compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 64.9% local, 27.9% state, and 7.2% 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 75/100, ranked #18 of 174 in Connecticut against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 211.1:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 25.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.3% African American, 25.9% Hispanic or Latino, 21.4% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is John F. Kennedy School, with a diversity index of 74.5/100.
Its largest campus is Windsor High School, enrolling 1,095 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Clover Street School, at 276 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Windsor High School accounts for 32.8% of all Windsor School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Windsor School District-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.

Windsor School District school enrollment ranges from 276 students (lowest) to 1,095 students (highest), a spread of 819 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.
Windsor School District student-counselor ratio is 211:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Windsor School District chronic absenteeism rate is 25.0% — 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 Windsor School District is typically wider than the Windsor School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Windsor School District has 6 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 2 elementary, 2 combined. Total enrollment is 3,337 students.
