District-Level NCES Analysis
Oroville School District operates 2 public schools serving 530 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined 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 Okanogan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,819 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 13.3% local, 57.7% state, and 29.1% 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 84/100, ranked #14 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 270.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 14.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.2% White, 35.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Oroville Elementary, enrolling 298 students (55% of the district's total enrollment).
Oroville Elementary accounts for 55.1% of all Oroville School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Oroville School District a distant remainder — means Oroville School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. 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.
Oroville School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 72.0% 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). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. 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.
Oroville School District student-counselor ratio is 271:1 — 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 Oroville School District is typically wider than the Oroville School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Oroville School District chronic absenteeism rate is 14.1% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Oroville School District has 2 schools, including 2 combined. Total enrollment is 530 students.
