District-Level NCES Analysis
Las Lomitas Elementary operates 2 public schools serving 1,151 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

The district's equity score is 68/100, ranked #315 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.

La Entrada Middle accounts for 53.2% of all Las Lomitas Elementary student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Las Lomitas Elementary a distant remainder — means Las Lomitas Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Las Lomitas Elementary student-counselor ratio is 298:1 — 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 Las Lomitas Elementary is typically wider than the Las Lomitas Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
Las Lomitas Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 8.3% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Las Lomitas Elementary has 2 schools, including 2 elementary. Total enrollment is 1,151 students.
