Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,337 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 196 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 77/100, ranked #19 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.
a 376:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 39.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Nyssa Virtual School accounts for 46.7% of all Nyssa Sd 26 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Nyssa Sd 26 a distant remainder — means Nyssa Sd 26-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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Nyssa Sd 26 school enrollment varies 3.4× across entities
Nyssa Sd 26 school enrollment ranges from 291 students (lowest) to 987 students (highest), a spread of 696 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 is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. 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.
Nyssa Sd 26 student-counselor ratio is 376:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Nyssa Sd 26 chronic absenteeism rate is 39.6% — 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.
