The funding mix is 25.9% local, 60.2% state, and 13.9% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 57/100, ranked #595 of 1517 in California against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 45.3:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.1% Hispanic or Latino, 14.0% White, 11.0% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Magnolia Science Academy 7, enrolling 272 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Magnolia Science Academy 7 accounts for 100.0% of all Magnolia Science Academy 7 District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Magnolia Science Academy 7 District a distant remainder — means Magnolia Science Academy 7 District-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.
Magnolia Science Academy 7 District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 71.9% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Magnolia Science Academy 7 District student-counselor ratio is 45:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
Magnolia Science Academy 7 District chronic absenteeism rate is 26.1% — 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 Magnolia Science Academy 7 District is typically wider than the Magnolia Science Academy 7 District-aggregate figure suggests.
