District-Level NCES Analysis
Twin Ridges Elementary operates 1 public schools serving 94 students, placing it among the smallest districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary 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 Nevada County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $28,819 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 188 of 1880 California districts by per-pupil spending. See how California compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 51.4% local, 21.6% state, and 27.0% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 350:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 69.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 80.0% White, 8.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Grizzly Hill, enrolling 105 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Grizzly Hill accounts for 100.0% of all Twin Ridges Elementary student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Twin Ridges Elementary a distant remainder — means Twin Ridges Elementary-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
The reported share is at least 75%, indicating a high concentration of measured economic need. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Twin Ridges Elementary student-counselor ratio is 350:1 — 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 Twin Ridges Elementary is typically wider than the Twin Ridges Elementary-aggregate figure suggests.
Twin Ridges Elementary chronic absenteeism rate is 69.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
