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 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 5,412 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Solano County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,105 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 24.0% local, 64.2% state, and 11.8% 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 $75,471 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #1226 of 1547 in California against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (15 AP courses district-wide), a 390.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 40.1% 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.

Vanden High accounts for 30.1% of all Travis Unified student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 ranges from 20 students (lowest) to 1,631 students (highest), a spread of 1,611 students.

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 40.1% — 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.
