District-Level NCES Analysis
Oakridge Sd 76 operates 3 public schools serving 513 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 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 Lane County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,359 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 16.4% local, 49.5% state, and 34.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 87/100, ranked #8 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 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 280:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 63.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 84.7% White, 4.8% Hispanic or Latino, 0.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Oakridge High School, with a diversity index of 30.9/100.
Its largest campus is Oakridge Elementary School, enrolling 280 students (54% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Oakridge Junior High School, at 80 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Oakridge Elementary School accounts for 54.4% of all Oakridge Sd 76 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Oakridge Sd 76 a distant remainder — means Oakridge Sd 76-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Oakridge Sd 76 school enrollment varies 3.5× across entities
Oakridge Sd 76 school enrollment ranges from 80 students (lowest) to 280 students (highest), a spread of 200 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.
Oakridge Sd 76 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 82.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Oakridge Sd 76 student-counselor ratio is 280:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
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 Variation between sub-units within Oakridge Sd 76 is typically wider than the Oakridge Sd 76-aggregate figure suggests.
Oakridge Sd 76 chronic absenteeism rate is 63.8% — 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.
