Context

The average elementary school in the Anaheim Elementary district had 18 in 100 students chronically absent (missed 10% or more of school days) in 2025–26; the average California elementary school we score had 17 in 100. Both are averages of school rates, each school counted once.

The district

Where does Anaheim Elementary’s money go, and what does it plan?

The Anaheim Elementary district spent $24,161 per student in the 2024–25 school year.

The typical California district spent $20,491. About 58 cents of every Anaheim Elementary dollar went to classroom instruction.

Spending by function

Day-to-day spending per student in average daily attendance, from the district’s annual financial report (SACS) to the California Department of Education. District-wide: it includes central administration and costs never assigned to one campus.

Share by function, 2024–25

  • Instruction58%

Shares of the same spending total, by the report’s spending categories, rounded so they add up to 100. Names are simplified from the report’s own categories.

What the district plans

$82.3 million

planned in its 2026–27 plan for 25 funded actions in 4 goals. That’s 25% of its $334.8 million general fund budget. These are planned amounts; the district reports what it spent in a later plan.

The plan in short

Source: the district’s yearly spending plan (Local Control and Accountability Plan, or LCAP, 106 pages), as posted to the California School Dashboard.

Where the money goes

Three actions take 51% of the money. The plan itself puts 79% of it toward staff.

  • Highly Qualified Teachers $19.9 million
  • Comprehensive Student Support Services $13.5 million
  • Broad Course of Study $8.3 million
  • 22 other actions
Reading, math and catch-up help

  • Reading $6.9 million
  • Math $4.1 million
  • Catch-up help $3.4 million

For high-need students

It plans $64.1 million in extra services for English learners, low-income students and foster youth. For 2025–26, it planned $74.7 million and estimates it spent $77.5 million, $2.8 million (4%) more than planned (our arithmetic).

What changed

The total is $2.1 million (3%) lower than in the 2025–26 plan. The biggest change in dollars is Broad Course of Study, which went from $6.6 million to $8.3 million.

Read these state results for the district’s own schools as context for the goals they measure; results alone can’t show what the plan caused.

Goal 4 tracks named schools and Goal 3 tracks other measures, so they aren’t shown here.

Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the district tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. We combined the district’s schools ourselves, weighted by students and leaving out charter schools. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.
