District-Level NCES Analysis
Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 operates 4 public schools serving 742 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle 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 Tillamook County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $23,110 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 69.2% local, 25.0% state, and 5.9% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 71/100, ranked #23 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 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 142.8:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 59.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.5% White, 15.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Neah-Kah-Nie High School, with a diversity index of 43.6/100.

Neah-Kah-Nie High School accounts for 32.9% of all Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 school enrollment ranges from 115 students (lowest) to 244 students (highest), a spread of 129 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.
Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 student-counselor ratio is 143:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Neah-Kah-Nie Sd 56 chronic absenteeism rate is 59.9% — 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.
