District-Level NCES Analysis
Raisin City Elementary operates 1 public schools serving 256 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 Fresno County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,691 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 13.3% local, 68.7% state, and 17.9% 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 79/100, ranked #116 of 1517 in California against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 255:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 58.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.9% Hispanic or Latino, 8.6% White, 4.7% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Raisin City Elementary, enrolling 255 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Raisin City Elementary accounts for 99.6% of all Raisin City Elementary student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Raisin City Elementary a distant remainder — means Raisin City 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.
Raisin City Elementary has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 76.1% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
Raisin City Elementary student-counselor ratio is 255:1 — 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 Raisin City Elementary is typically wider than the Raisin City Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
Raisin City Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 58.0% — 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.
Raisin City Elementary has 1 school, including 1 elementary. Total enrollment is 256 students.
