What this school's NCES data tells you
Clayville School reports 140 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 11.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 4% below the Rhode Island state mean of 13.4:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 18% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 9.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 75% below the Rhode Island average and 81% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 15.7% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Scituate spends $24,327 per pupil district-wide, above the Rhode Island average of $22,892 and above the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 75.9% from local sources (property taxes), 15.5% from the state, and 8.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 46/100 (D), calculated from 3 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
