District-Level NCES Analysis
Moreland operates 7 public schools serving 3,940 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 1 middle 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 Santa Clara County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,654 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 58.0% local, 34.2% 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 43/100, ranked #926 of 1526 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 558.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 19.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 39.4% Hispanic or Latino, 28.8% Asian, 16.5% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is George C. Payne Elementary, with a diversity index of 74.3/100.
Its largest campus is Easterbrook Discovery, enrolling 952 students (25% of the district's total enrollment).
Easterbrook Discovery accounts for 24.2% of all Moreland student enrollment
That concentration means Moreland-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.
Moreland school enrollment varies 2.5× across entities
Moreland school enrollment ranges from 377 students (lowest) to 952 students (highest), a spread of 575 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Moreland student-counselor ratio is 558:1 — 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.
Moreland chronic absenteeism rate is 19.7% — 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 Moreland is typically wider than the Moreland-aggregate figure suggests.
