The free-lunch share is 86% below the California average and 86% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 659 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 19.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Rescue Union Elementary spends $12,728 per pupil district-wide, below the California average of $18,039 and below the national average of $19,490.
