District-Level NCES Analysis

Fraser Public Schools operates 8 public schools serving 4,650 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 3 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,366 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Macomb County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,918 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 29.0% local, 60.2% state, and 10.8% 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 $62,160 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 51/100, ranked #338 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (12 AP courses district-wide), a 330.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, 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.

Fraser High School accounts for 32.8% of all Fraser Public Schools student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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% — 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.
