Mapleton SD 32 operates 2 public schools serving 147 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 139 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Lane County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $28,117 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 25.8% local, 56.4% state, and 17.8% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $110,222 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), and 67.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 74.9% White, 10.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Mapleton Jr/Sr High School accounts for 54.7% of all Mapleton SD 32 student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Mapleton SD 32-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Mapleton SD 32 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 91.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Mapleton SD 32 chronic absenteeism rate is 67.8% — 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.
