District-Level NCES Analysis
Latrobe operates 2 public schools serving 161 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. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in El Dorado County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,273 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1880 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 85.7% local, 12.9% state, and 1.5% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 330:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 45.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 68.8% White, 17.4% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Miller's Hill, enrolling 77 students (58% of the district's total enrollment).
Miller's Hill accounts for 47.8% of all Latrobe student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Latrobe a distant remainder — means Latrobe-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Latrobe student-counselor ratio is 330:1 — 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 Latrobe is typically wider than the Latrobe-aggregate figure suggests.
Latrobe chronic absenteeism rate is 45.8% — 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.
