District-Level NCES Analysis
Siatech District operates 1 public schools serving 743 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high 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 Diego County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $30,194 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 187 of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 40.3% local, 55.3% state, and 4.4% 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 60/100, ranked #498 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 293.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 36.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.2% Hispanic or Latino, 13.2% African American, 7.5% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Siatech, enrolling 1,174 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Siatech accounts for 100.0% of all Siatech District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Siatech District a distant remainder — means Siatech District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Siatech District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 86.5% 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.
Siatech District student-counselor ratio is 294:1 — 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 Siatech District is typically wider than the Siatech District-aggregate figure suggests.
Siatech District chronic absenteeism rate is 36.2% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Siatech District has 1 school, including 1 high. Total enrollment is 743 students.
