District-Level NCES Analysis
Travis Unified operates 9 public schools serving 5,340 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Solano County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,555 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 1862 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 24.0% local, 64.2% state, and 11.8% 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 33/100, ranked #1174 of 1517 in California against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 390.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 33.2% Hispanic or Latino, 22.9% White, 13.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Vanden High, with a diversity index of 79.6/100.
Its largest campus is Vanden High, enrolling 1,631 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Travis Independent Study, at 20 students, a 82x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Vanden High accounts for 30.1% of all Travis Unified student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Travis Unified-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.
Travis Unified school enrollment varies 82× across entities
Travis Unified school enrollment ranges from 20 students (lowest) to 1,631 students (highest), a spread of 1,611 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Travis Unified student-counselor ratio is 390:1 — 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.
Travis Unified chronic absenteeism rate is 23.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Travis Unified is typically wider than the Travis Unified-aggregate figure suggests.
