District-Level NCES Analysis
Geyserville Unified operates 3 public schools serving 211 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 elementary, 1 high 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 Sonoma County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,201 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 187 of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 73.7% local, 20.5% state, and 5.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 73/100, ranked #215 of 1517 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), and 56.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.5% Hispanic or Latino, 30.1% White, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Geyserville Elementary, with a diversity index of 52.6/100.
Its largest campus is Geyserville New Tech Academy, enrolling 97 students (50% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Buena Vista High, at 8 students, a 12x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Geyserville New Tech Academy accounts for 46.0% of all Geyserville Unified student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Geyserville Unified a distant remainder — means Geyserville Unified-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Geyserville Unified school enrollment varies 12× across entities
Geyserville Unified school enrollment ranges from 8 students (lowest) to 97 students (highest), a spread of 89 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Geyserville Unified has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 56.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Geyserville Unified chronic absenteeism rate is 56.5% — 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.
