Regional Demographics

The two northern counties: Mono and Inyo, feature small, isolated, rural districts and a relatively higher percentage of Native American and white students than the southern counties. The two southern counties: San Bernardino and Riverside, feature a wider variety of district demographics, but mostly larger, more urban and suburban districts with large percentages of Hispanic students and English learners. The southern counties also have a slightly higher percentage of students on free and reduced-price meals than the northern counties.
