Cambrian operates 6 public schools serving 2,919 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,111 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Santa Clara County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,376 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 48.9% local, 46.3% state, and 4.8% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $82,344 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 35/100, ranked #1172 of 1547 in California against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
a 485.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 12.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 30.0% Hispanic or Latino, 29.4% White, 25.4% Asian across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cambrian-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: middle. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Cambrian school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Cambrian school enrollment ranges from 278 students (lowest) to 959 students (highest), a spread of 681 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Cambrian student-counselor ratio is 485:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Cambrian chronic absenteeism rate is 12.3% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Cambrian has 6 schools, including 1 middle, 5 elementary. Total enrollment is 2,919 students.
