District-Level NCES Analysis
Loomis Union Elementary operates 7 public schools serving 2,889 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 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 Placer County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,612 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 187 of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 51.3% local, 40.9% state, and 7.9% 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 18/100, ranked #1449 of 1517 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.

That concentration means Loomis Union 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.
Loomis Union Elementary school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Loomis Union Elementary school enrollment ranges from 200 students (lowest) to 505 students (highest), a spread of 305 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Loomis Union Elementary student-counselor ratio is 802:1 — 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.
Loomis Union Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 15.8% — 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 Loomis Union Elementary is typically wider than the Loomis Union Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
