District-Level NCES Analysis
Rogue River Sd 35 operates 4 public schools serving 1,079 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,091 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 27.4% local, 56.5% state, and 16.2% 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 43/100, ranked #104 of 160 in Oregon against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 339:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 49.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.8% White, 11.9% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is South Valley Academy, with a diversity index of 41.2/100.
Its largest campus is Rogue River Elementary School, enrolling 388 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is South Valley Academy, at 106 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Rogue River Elementary School accounts for 36.0% of all Rogue River Sd 35 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Rogue River Sd 35-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.
Rogue River Sd 35 school enrollment varies 3.7× across entities
Rogue River Sd 35 school enrollment ranges from 106 students (lowest) to 388 students (highest), a spread of 282 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.
Rogue River Sd 35 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 74.8% 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.
Rogue River Sd 35 student-counselor ratio is 339:1 — 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 Rogue River Sd 35 is typically wider than the Rogue River Sd 35-aggregate figure suggests.
Rogue River Sd 35 chronic absenteeism rate is 49.4% — 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.
