Colusa County Office of Education

The Colusa County Office of Education is an active, non-charter public school district anchored in the distant town community of Colusa, California, with administrative headquarters located at 345 5th St. Ste. A. Overseeing two operational school facilities, the district maintains a wide instructional mandate with authorization to serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade, in addition to providing adult education programming. Serving a focused student body of 62 enrolled learners—primarily concentrated in the middle and high school grade levels—the district provides a highly individualized educational framework designed to meet the distinct needs of its rural region.

Diversity and intensive wrap-around support define the district's student environment and operational model. The student body is culturally rich, with a strong Hispanic majority alongside American Indian, White, Black, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. For parents and educational researchers, the district's staffing model is particularly notable: instruction is driven by 6.5 full-time equivalent teachers and nearly 6.5 instructional aides, establishing remarkably low student-to-educator ratios. This direct instruction is augmented by a substantial infrastructure of over 165 support personnel, bringing total district staffing to 178 full-time equivalent positions dedicated to student well-being, specialized services, and administrative leadership.
