How Clarksburg Elementary compares with Massachusetts and U.S. medians
What stands out at Clarksburg Elementary
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Clarksburg Elementary enrolls fewer students than most Massachusetts schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
Student support operates inside a leaner district budget
Clarksburg Elementary's district reports $17,926 in per-pupil expenditure, at least 15% below the Massachusetts average of $23,695. That district-wide constraint gives the campus-level support fields added meaning: counselor loads, specialist staffing, and program access are being reported within a comparatively lean spending environment. F-33 does not publish this school's own budget, so the comparison describes district context rather than dollars assigned to this building.
Clarksburg Elementary is a small combined-grade school in Clarksburg, Massachusetts, enrolling 204 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 12.8:1 puts it in the larger third of Massachusetts schools by student-teacher ratio.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 91% of the 1,831 Massachusetts schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
