District-Level NCES Analysis
Sequim School District operates 6 public schools serving 2,602 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 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 Clallam County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,271 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 20.9% local, 60.7% state, and 18.5% 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 56/100, ranked #90 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (13 AP courses district-wide), a 389:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 13.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.6% White, 13.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.5% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Greywolf Elementary School, with a diversity index of 48.5/100.
Its largest campus is Sequim Senior High, enrolling 804 students (31% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Dungeness Virtual School, at 97 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Sequim Senior High accounts for 30.9% of all Sequim School District student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Sequim School District-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.
Sequim School District school enrollment varies 8.3× across entities
Sequim School District school enrollment ranges from 97 students (lowest) to 804 students (highest), a spread of 707 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Sequim School District student-counselor ratio is 389:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Sequim School District chronic absenteeism rate is 13.0% — 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.
Sequim School District has 6 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 4 combined. Total enrollment is 2,602 students.
