Dunsmuir Elementary

Dunsmuir Elementary School District is an open, traditional public school district located at 4760 Siskiyou Avenue in the rural community of Dunsmuir, California. Operating a single educational campus, the district delivers foundational instruction for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. With an enrollment of 65 students across all grade levels, the district offers a close-knit learning environment characterized by small class sizes—ranging from 11 kindergarteners down to single-digit enrollments per grade level in middle school. The student body reflects a diverse community, with significant representations of multiracial, White, Hispanic, and Asian students, alongside a balanced gender distribution of 33 boys and 32 girls.

To support its student population, the district maintains a robust operational footprint relative to its size, employing approximately 31 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This includes nearly 11.4 FTE teachers, more than 5 instructional aides, and over 14 dedicated support staff members. This favorable staffing ratio creates an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of under six students per educator, allowing for highly individualized academic attention and tailored support services.
