District-Level NCES Analysis
Lowell Sd 71 operates 4 public schools serving 1,066 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 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 Lane County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $7,273 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 20 of 196 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 13.0% local, 81.1% state, and 5.9% 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 38/100, ranked #115 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 178:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 48.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.2% White, 11.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Lundy Elementary School, with a diversity index of 43.3/100.
Its largest campus is Bridge Charter Academy, enrolling 546 students (53% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Mountain View Academy, at 138 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Bridge Charter Academy accounts for 51.2% of all Lowell Sd 71 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Lowell Sd 71 a distant remainder — means Lowell Sd 71-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.

Lowell Sd 71 school enrollment ranges from 138 students (lowest) to 546 students (highest), a spread of 408 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.
The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Lowell Sd 71 student-counselor ratio is 178:1 — 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.
Lowell Sd 71 chronic absenteeism rate is 48.6% — 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.
