District-Level NCES Analysis
Marcola Sd 79j operates 3 public schools serving 839 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Lane County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $7,091 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 20 of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 17.2% local, 77.8% state, and 5.0% 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 23/100, ranked #151 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 655:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 32.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.7% White, 10.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Teach-Nw, with a diversity index of 38.0/100.
Its largest campus is Teach-Nw, enrolling 655 students (71% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Mohawk High School, at 133 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Teach-Nw accounts for 70.7% of all Marcola Sd 79j student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Marcola Sd 79j a distant remainder — means Marcola Sd 79j-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Marcola Sd 79j school enrollment varies 4.9× across entities
Marcola Sd 79j school enrollment ranges from 133 students (lowest) to 655 students (highest), a spread of 522 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.
Marcola Sd 79j student-counselor ratio is 655:1 — 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.
Marcola Sd 79j chronic absenteeism rate is 32.4% — 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.
