District-Level NCES Analysis
Farmersville Unified operates 6 public schools serving 2,451 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle 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 Tulare County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,688 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1880 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 8.4% local, 75.0% state, and 16.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 87/100, ranked #26 of 1526 in California against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 280:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 35.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 95.5% Hispanic or Latino, 2.9% White, 0.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is J. E. Hester Elementary, with a diversity index of 13.1/100.
Its largest campus is Farmersville High, enrolling 711 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Deep Creek Academy, at 34 students, a 21x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Farmersville High accounts for 29.0% of all Farmersville Unified student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Farmersville Unified-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates 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.
Farmersville Unified school enrollment varies 21× across entities
Farmersville Unified school enrollment ranges from 34 students (lowest) to 711 students (highest), a spread of 677 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Farmersville Unified student-counselor ratio is 280:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Farmersville Unified is typically wider than the Farmersville Unified-aggregate figure suggests.
Farmersville Unified chronic absenteeism rate is 35.8% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
