District-Level NCES Analysis
Coquille Sd 8 operates 5 public schools serving 1,228 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. 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 $13,954 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 13.6% local, 73.4% state, and 12.9% 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 52/100, ranked #72 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.
a 390:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 59.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.5% White, 12.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.2% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Coquille Junior Senior High, with a diversity index of 40.8/100.
Its largest campus is Coquille Junior Senior High, enrolling 360 students (30% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Winter Lakes Elementary, at 106 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Coquille Junior Senior High accounts for 29.3% of all Coquille Sd 8 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Coquille Sd 8-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Coquille Sd 8 school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Coquille Sd 8 school enrollment ranges from 106 students (lowest) to 360 students (highest), a spread of 254 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Coquille Sd 8 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 75.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Coquille Sd 8 student-counselor ratio is 390:1 — 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.
Coquille Sd 8 chronic absenteeism rate is 59.0% — 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.
