District-Level NCES Analysis
Evergreen Elementary operates 16 public schools serving 8,880 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 13 elementary, 3 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. 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 $15,014 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 49.6% local, 44.7% state, and 5.7% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #1136 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.
a 719.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 58.4% Asian, 30.8% Hispanic or Latino, 3.6% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Cadwallader Elementary, with a diversity index of 59.1/100.
Its largest campus is Quimby Oak Middle, enrolling 857 students (10% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is O. B. Whaley Elementary, at 268 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Evergreen Elementary school enrollment varies 3.2× across entities
Evergreen Elementary school enrollment ranges from 268 students (lowest) to 857 students (highest), a spread of 589 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.
Evergreen Elementary student-counselor ratio is 719:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Evergreen Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 13.5% — 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.
