Counselor coverage works out to roughly 129 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 34.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Worcester spends $28,304 per pupil district-wide, below the Massachusetts average of $28,509 and above the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 13.5% from local sources (property taxes), 70.1% from the state, and 16.4% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey.
