District-Level NCES Analysis
Scio Sd 95 operates 5 public schools serving 1,688 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 combined, 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 Linn County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $4,984 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 20 of 194 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 7.5% local, 85.9% state, and 6.6% 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 28/100, ranked #138 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 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (11 AP courses district-wide), a 276.8:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 39.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.7% White, 9.3% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Willamette Connections Academy, with a diversity index of 50.2/100.
Its largest campus is Willamette Connections Academy, enrolling 1,282 students (64% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Lourdes School, at 36 students, a 36x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Willamette Connections Academy accounts for 64.2% of all Scio Sd 95 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Scio Sd 95 a distant remainder — means Scio Sd 95-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.
Scio Sd 95 school enrollment varies 36× across entities
Scio Sd 95 school enrollment ranges from 36 students (lowest) to 1,282 students (highest), a spread of 1,246 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Scio Sd 95 student-counselor ratio is 277:1 — 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 Scio Sd 95 is typically wider than the Scio Sd 95-aggregate figure suggests.
Scio Sd 95 chronic absenteeism rate is 39.1% — 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.
