Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,667 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 29.0% local, 60.2% state, and 10.8% 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 55/100, ranked #258 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 330.5:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 46.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 66.8% White, 18.9% African American, 3.7% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Eisenhower Elementary School, with a diversity index of 59.3/100.

Its largest campus is Fraser High School, enrolling 1,431 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Mark Twain Elementary School, at 339 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Fraser High School accounts for 30.8% of all Fraser Public Schools student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Fraser Public Schools-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.

Fraser Public Schools school enrollment varies 4.2× across entities

Fraser Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 339 students (lowest) to 1,431 students (highest), a spread of 1,092 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.

Fraser Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 331:1 — 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 Fraser Public Schools is typically wider than the Fraser Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.

Fraser Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 46.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)

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 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.
