District-Level NCES Analysis
Cove Sd 15 operates 1 public schools serving 298 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,691 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 196 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 16.8% local, 74.6% state, and 8.7% 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 48/100, ranked #80 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 349.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 45.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 89.9% White, 4.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Cove Charter School, enrolling 290 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses held roughly steady from 2022-23 to 2023-24 (298 to 302 students, +1.3%), per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Cove Sd 15 a distant remainder — means Cove Sd 15-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Cove Sd 15 student-counselor ratio is 349:1 — 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 Cove Sd 15 is typically wider than the Cove Sd 15-aggregate figure suggests.
Cove Sd 15 chronic absenteeism rate is 45.9% — 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.
