Oro Grande operates 1 public schools serving 94 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 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 San Bernardino County.
The funding mix is 35.2% local, 52.2% state, and 12.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
a 91:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 53.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.7% Hispanic or Latino, 6.6% White, 2.2% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Oro Grande Elementary, enrolling 91 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses held roughly steady from 2022-23 to 2023-24 (94 to 93 students, -1.1%), per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $22,070,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 21.7% went to instruction, 41.9% to support services, and 8.2% to capital outlay, support-services-heavy relative to typical districts, reflecting spending on transportation, administration, or student services. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Oro Grande Elementary accounts for 96.8% of all Oro Grande student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Oro Grande a distant remainder — means Oro Grande-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. 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.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. 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.
Oro Grande student-counselor ratio is 91:1 — 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.
Oro Grande chronic absenteeism rate is 53.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Oro Grande has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 94 students.
