Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 11% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 62.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 13% above the California average and 21% above the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 15.3% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Shiloh Elementary spends $14,174 per pupil district-wide, below the California average of $16,509 and below the national average of $16,593.
