District-Level NCES Analysis
Knappa Sd 4 operates 2 public schools serving 454 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 high 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 $20,419 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 27.9% local, 62.3% state, and 9.8% 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 71/100, ranked #27 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 212:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 58.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 86.2% White, 8.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Hilda Lahti Elementary School, enrolling 293 students (69% of the district's total enrollment).
Hilda Lahti Elementary School accounts for 64.5% of all Knappa Sd 4 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Knappa Sd 4 a distant remainder — means Knappa Sd 4-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Knappa Sd 4 student-counselor ratio is 212:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Knappa Sd 4 chronic absenteeism rate is 58.5% — 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.
