What this school's NCES data tells you

Emma L Miller Elementary School reports 38 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 8.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 5:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 59% below the Massachusetts state mean of 12.1:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 68% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

Counselor coverage works out to roughly 190 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 39.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

On the finance side, the surrounding Savoy spends $26,157 per pupil district-wide, above the Massachusetts average of $22,458 and above the national average of $16,593. Revenue comes 28.2% from local sources (property taxes), 54.5% from the state, and 17.4% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 43/100 (D), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
