District-Level NCES Analysis
Jewell Sd 8 operates 1 public schools serving 117 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 Clatsop County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $46,015 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the top 20 of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 22.3% local, 70.4% state, and 7.3% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 595:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 78.2% White, 12.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Jewell School, enrolling 119 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Jewell School accounts for 100.0% of all Jewell Sd 8 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Jewell Sd 8 a distant remainder — means Jewell Sd 8-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.
Jewell Sd 8 student-counselor ratio is 595:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Jewell Sd 8 chronic absenteeism rate is 47.9% — 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.
