District-Level NCES Analysis

Neah-Kah-Nie SD 56 operates 4 public schools serving 742 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 693 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Tillamook County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,384 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 69.2% local, 25.0% state, and 5.9% 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 $102,612 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 66/100, ranked #29 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

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.

Neah-Kah-Nie High School accounts for 35.2% of all Neah-Kah-Nie SD 56 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 student-counselor ratio is 143:1 — 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.

Neah-Kah-Nie SD 56 chronic absenteeism rate is 59.9% — 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.
