National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Oakhurst has more public-school enrollment than 5% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Yosemite High enrolls 37.0% of Oakhurst's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Secondary campuses occupy an unusually large share

4 of the 8 listed Oakhurst schools are classified as high schools, a substantial share of the local portfolio. Advanced-course access, counseling, and graduation-stage staffing therefore have more weight in the city Resource Index average than they do in an elementary-heavy system.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Oakhurst lists only 8 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 25 to 542 students, a 22-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.

Yosemite High accounts for 37.0% of all Oakhurst public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Oakhurst-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.

Oakhurst school enrollment varies 22× across entities

Oakhurst school enrollment ranges from 25 students (lowest) to 542 students (highest), a spread of 517 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.

Oakhurst student-teacher ratio is 21.1:1 — high (typically associated with larger urban scale or staffing constraints that have widened the headcount gap)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
