The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 977 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Hudson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $28,262 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 39.4% local, 46.7% state, and 13.8% 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 $96,003 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 72/100, ranked #86 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 325.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.7% Hispanic or Latino, 6.1% White, 1.8% Asian across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Guttenberg School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Guttenberg School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 65.0% 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.
