District-Level NCES Analysis
Oak Harbor School District operates 12 public schools serving 5,730 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 4 combined, 2 high, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,926 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.0% local, 63.4% state, and 18.6% 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 52/100, ranked #110 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (18 AP courses district-wide), a 383.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 26.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.4% White, 23.3% Hispanic or Latino, 6.0% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Olympic View Elem, with a diversity index of 71.5/100.
Its largest campus is Oak Harbor High School, enrolling 1,562 students (27% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Igrad Academy, at 11 students, a 142x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Oak Harbor High School accounts for 27.2% of all Oak Harbor School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Oak Harbor School District-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.
Oak Harbor School District school enrollment varies 142× across entities
Oak Harbor School District school enrollment ranges from 11 students (lowest) to 1,562 students (highest), a spread of 1,551 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Oak Harbor School District student-counselor ratio is 383:1 — 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.
Oak Harbor School District chronic absenteeism rate is 26.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Oak Harbor School District is typically wider than the Oak Harbor School District-aggregate figure suggests.
