District-Level NCES Analysis
Campbell Union High operates 6 public schools serving 8,639 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Santa Clara County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,734 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 84.0% local, 11.9% state, and 4.1% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 39/100, ranked #1038 of 1517 in California against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 5 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (79 AP courses district-wide), a 445.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 14.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 46.3% Hispanic or Latino, 23.5% White, 19.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Branham High, with a diversity index of 72.9/100.

Leigh High accounts for 21.8% of all Campbell Union High student enrollment
That concentration means Campbell Union High-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Campbell Union High school enrollment varies 12× across entities
Campbell Union High school enrollment ranges from 163 students (lowest) to 1,884 students (highest), a spread of 1,721 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Campbell Union High student-counselor ratio is 446:1 — 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.
Campbell Union High chronic absenteeism rate is 14.9% — 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.
Campbell Union High has 6 schools, including 6 high. Total enrollment is 8,639 students.
