District-Level NCES Analysis
Oregon Trail Sd 46 operates 10 public schools serving 4,358 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 3 middle, 1 high, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Clackamas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,107 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 41.1% local, 53.5% state, and 5.4% 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 16/100, ranked #159 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 327.4:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 40.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 73.4% White, 17.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.9% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Naas Elementary School, with a diversity index of 51.1/100.
Its largest campus is Sandy High School, enrolling 1,420 students (34% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Welches Middle School, at 67 students, a 21x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

That dominant concentration means Oregon Trail Sd 46-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.
Oregon Trail Sd 46 school enrollment varies 21× across entities
Oregon Trail Sd 46 school enrollment ranges from 67 students (lowest) to 1,420 students (highest), a spread of 1,353 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Oregon Trail Sd 46 student-counselor ratio is 327:1 — 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 Oregon Trail Sd 46 is typically wider than the Oregon Trail Sd 46-aggregate figure suggests.
Oregon Trail Sd 46 chronic absenteeism rate is 40.8% — 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.
