National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Fraser has more public-school enrollment than 37% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Fraser High School enrolls 40.5% of Fraser'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.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

3 of Fraser's 6 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

The composite and staffing measures point in different directions

Fraser's average Resource Investment Index sits at the 2nd percentile, while its teacher-staffing measure sits at the 38th percentile. The 36-point percentile gap is a reminder that the index is not a class-size score: counselors, gifted-program reporting, and attendance also affect it. Compare those components directly when two schools have similar index totals; the same headline score can arise from a different mix of reported resources.

City enrollment: Top 63%
School count: Top 79%
Resource Index average: 2nd percentile
Teacher staffing: 38th percentile

Fraser High School accounts for 40.5% of all Fraser public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Fraser-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.

Fraser school enrollment varies 4.4× across entities

Fraser school enrollment ranges from 327 students (lowest) to 1,431 students (highest), a spread of 1,104 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. 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.

Fraser student-teacher ratio is 16.5:1 — 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 Fraser is typically wider than the Fraser-aggregate figure suggests.

1 of Fraser's 6 listed schools are charters

17% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD. Charter status identifies a different governance arrangement; it does not establish admissions availability, academic quality, or the share of city students enrolled in those campuses.
