District-Level NCES Analysis
Coos Bay Sd 9 operates 9 public schools serving 3,082 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Coos County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,108 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 28.6% local, 56.8% state, and 14.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #119 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 384.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 59.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.1% White, 15.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Destinations Academy, with a diversity index of 60.7/100.
Its largest campus is Marshfield Senior High School, enrolling 798 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Resource Link Charter School, at 36 students, a 22x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Marshfield Senior High School accounts for 25.9% of all Coos Bay Sd 9 student enrollment
That concentration means Coos Bay Sd 9-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Coos Bay Sd 9 school enrollment varies 22× across entities
Coos Bay Sd 9 school enrollment ranges from 36 students (lowest) to 798 students (highest), a spread of 762 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Coos Bay Sd 9 student-counselor ratio is 384:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Coos Bay Sd 9 chronic absenteeism rate is 59.5% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
