District-Level NCES Analysis
Livermore Valley Joint Unified operates 18 public schools serving 12,956 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 11 elementary, 3 middle, 2 high, 2 combined 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 Alameda County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,408 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1880 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 53.7% local, 38.6% state, and 7.7% 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 35/100, ranked #1114 of 1526 in California against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 18 schools offering Advanced Placement (35 AP courses district-wide), a 548.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 37.1% White, 34.2% Hispanic or Latino, 17.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Rancho Las Positas Elementary, with a diversity index of 72.4/100.
Its largest campus is Granada High, enrolling 2,156 students (17% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Del Valle Continuation High, at 87 students, a 25x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Granada High accounts for 16.6% of all Livermore Valley Joint Unified student enrollment
That concentration means Livermore Valley Joint Unified-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Livermore Valley Joint Unified school enrollment varies 25× across entities
Livermore Valley Joint Unified school enrollment ranges from 87 students (lowest) to 2,156 students (highest), a spread of 2,069 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Livermore Valley Joint Unified student-counselor ratio is 548:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Livermore Valley Joint Unified chronic absenteeism rate is 24.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Livermore Valley Joint Unified is typically wider than the Livermore Valley Joint Unified-aggregate figure suggests.
