What this school's NCES data tells you

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: 3.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 82% below the New Hampshire average and 92% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 6.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Mason School District spends $28,641 per pupil district-wide, above the New Hampshire average of $28,358 and above the national average of $16,593.
