District-Level NCES Analysis

San Ramon Valley Unified operates 36 public schools serving 29,680 students, placing it in the mid-size range in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 22 elementary, 8 middle, 4 high, 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 28,554 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Contra Costa County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,967 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 60.6% local, 34.4% state, and 4.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $76,074 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 24/100, ranked #1419 of 1547 in California against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

San Ramon Valley Unified student-counselor ratio is 788:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

San Ramon Valley Unified chronic absenteeism rate is 14.2% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
