District-Level NCES Analysis

The district's equity score is 66/100, ranked #384 of 1526 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.

Long Valley accounts for 100.0% of all Long Valley District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Long Valley District a distant remainder — means Long Valley District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Long Valley District reports 54.3% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Long Valley District student-counselor ratio is 500:1 — 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.
Long Valley District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.2% — 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 Long Valley District is typically wider than the Long Valley District-aggregate figure suggests.
Long Valley District has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 232 students.
