San Juan Unified serves 38,119 students across 68 schools in suburban Sacramento County, California. The district experienced a slight enrollment decline of 0.4% in the prior year, suggesting relative stability in its student population.
The district operates with 1,682 teachers, resulting in a student-teacher ratio of 22.7:1, which is typical for California suburban districts. The graduation rate of 88.1% falls slightly below the state average of 89.9%, while chronic absenteeism at 22.5% represents a notable area of concern.
San Juan Unified serves a diverse population with significant needs. Over half of students (53.8%) are economically disadvantaged, while 25.7% are English learners and 20.3% receive special education services. Racially, the district is 44.4% White, 27.1% Hispanic, 11.8% Asian, and 6.3% Black.
Financially, the district operates on a $664.9 million budget with per-pupil spending of $17,318, which is notably lower than California's state average of $19,711. This funding gap reflects the district's revenue structure: 56.0% from state sources, 32.8% from local revenue, and 11.2% from federal funding. The reliance on state funding combined with below-average per-pupil expenditure may present budget constraints relative to other California districts with higher local tax bases.

About the California School Dashboard
The Dashboard uses a 5x5 grid that combines current status (performance level) with change (improvement or decline from the prior year) to determine colors. Blue is the highest performance level; Red indicates the lowest. Dashboard colors help identify both high-performing districts and those needing support.
