National city placement

Middle-of-corpus city profile

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Healdsburg has more public-school enrollment than 5% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Healdsburg sits in the broad middle of the national city distribution rather than at a single obvious extreme. Its scale, average Resource Investment Index, and staffing position need to be read together: a middle placement on one measure does not cancel a stronger or weaker result on another. The percentile panel makes those dimensions explicit, and the school table shows where the city aggregate breaks into materially different campus profiles.

The school portfolio is elementary-weighted

3 of Healdsburg's 6 listed schools are elementary campuses. That composition means citywide enrollment and staffing averages are influenced more by early-grade operating patterns than by the city's 1 middle and 2 high-school records. Families comparing later grades should rely on those individual rows rather than the all-school mean.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Healdsburg lists only 6 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 24 to 503 students, a 21-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

City enrollment: Top 95%
School count: Top 79%
Resource Index average: 49th percentile
Teacher staffing: 48th percentile

Healdsburg High accounts for 34.4% of all Healdsburg public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Healdsburg-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Healdsburg school enrollment varies 21× across entities

Healdsburg school enrollment ranges from 24 students (lowest) to 503 students (highest), a spread of 479 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Healdsburg student-teacher ratio is 15.5:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Healdsburg is typically wider than the Healdsburg-aggregate figure suggests.
