The funding mix is 79.3% local, 16.8% state, and 4.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 335:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 65.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.6% White, 14.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Pine Ridge Elementary, enrolling 67 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Pine Ridge Elementary accounts for 97.1% of all Pine Ridge Elementary student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Pine Ridge Elementary a distant remainder — means Pine Ridge Elementary-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.
Pine Ridge Elementary student-counselor ratio is 335:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Pine Ridge Elementary is typically wider than the Pine Ridge Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
Pine Ridge Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 65.7% — 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.
