What stands out about Summerland Public Schools

  • Enrolment grew 8.2% here, from 404 students in FY2021 to 437 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • It is a very small district (437 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
