San Juan Boces operates 1 public schools serving 40 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Colorado. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined 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 La Plata County.
The funding mix is 25.9% local, 50.8% state, and 23.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 64:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 0.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.0% White, 14.6% Hispanic or Latino, 4.2% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Southwest Colorado Eschool, enrolling 48 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses grew 12.5% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (40 to 45 students), while the student-teacher ratio widened by 3.6 students per teacher, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $8,804,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 27.8% went to instruction, 66% to support services, and 0% 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.
Southwest Colorado Eschool accounts for 100.0% of all San Juan Boces student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of San Juan Boces a distant remainder — means San Juan Boces-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
San Juan Boces student-counselor ratio is 64:1 — 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.
San Juan Boces chronic absenteeism rate is 0.0% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 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.
San Juan Boces has 1 school, including 1 combined. Total enrollment is 40 students.
