District 2 $4 032.037

Weighted ADA (WADA)
District 1 $5,555.815
District 2 $4,794.076

Although District 1 has a smaller ADA than District 2, it has a larger Weighted Average Daily Attendance Rate. One reason for this is because District 1 has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (93.3%) than District 2 (20.7%). District one also has a large percentage of its student population represented in Special Education, Bilingual/ESL Education, and Career & Technical Education. While District 2 has no LEP (Limited English Proficient) students, District 1 has 48% of its students represented in this sub-group. Since the districts receive additional funds according to the number of students in special populations, District 1 has a higher WADA than District 2.
