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 combined, 1 high, 1 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 Macomb County.
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.
Fraser Public Schools has 8 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 3 elementary, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 4,650 students.
