District-Level NCES Analysis
Ione Sd R2 operates 1 public schools serving 134 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. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Morrow County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $27,560 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 52.6% local, 43.2% state, and 4.2% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers.
a 113:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 41.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 64.6% White, 33.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Ione Community Charter School, enrolling 113 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Enrollment across the district's NCES-reporting campuses fell 5.2% between 2022-23 and 2023-24 (134 to 127 students), and the student-teacher ratio widened by 0.8 students per teacher despite the decline, per the NCES Common Core of Data annual universe files.
Of the district's $6,870,000 in reported FY2023 expenditures, 27.2% went to instruction, 25% to support services, and 39.2% to capital outlay, a capital-heavy year, consistent with active construction, renovation, or major equipment purchases. Figures come from the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey's function-level breakdown, not the aggregate per-pupil figure above.
Ione Community Charter School accounts for 84.3% of all Ione Sd R2 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ione Sd R2 a distant remainder — means Ione Sd R2-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.
Ione Sd R2 student-counselor ratio is 113:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Ione Sd R2 chronic absenteeism rate is 41.6% — 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.
