District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,289 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 196 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 54/100, ranked #65 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 11 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 303.2:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 32.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% White, 28.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.4% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Fairfield Elementary School, with a diversity index of 60.7/100.
Its largest campus is Willamette High School, enrolling 1,455 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Kalapuya High School, at 108 students, a 13x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Willamette High School accounts for 28.5% of all Bethel Sd 52 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bethel Sd 52-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bethel Sd 52 school enrollment varies 13× across entities
Bethel Sd 52 school enrollment ranges from 108 students (lowest) to 1,455 students (highest), a spread of 1,347 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Bethel Sd 52 student-counselor ratio is 303:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Bethel Sd 52 is typically wider than the Bethel Sd 52-aggregate figure suggests.
Bethel Sd 52 chronic absenteeism rate is 32.5% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
