That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Valley Union High School District (4190)-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high.

Valley Union High School District (4190) student-counselor ratio is 71:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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