District-Level NCES Analysis
Sheridan Sd 48j operates 3 public schools serving 947 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 combined, 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,002 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 196 Oregon districts by per-pupil spending. See how Oregon compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.0% local, 66.6% state, and 15.4% 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 43/100, ranked #96 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 363:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 46.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.5% White, 11.8% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Faulconer-Chapman School, with a diversity index of 51.9/100.
Its largest campus is Faulconer-Chapman School, enrolling 515 students (48% of the district's total enrollment).
Faulconer-Chapman School accounts for 47.6% of all Sheridan Sd 48j student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Sheridan Sd 48j a distant remainder — means Sheridan Sd 48j-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: elementary. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Sheridan Sd 48j school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Sheridan Sd 48j school enrollment ranges from 211 students (lowest) to 515 students (highest), a spread of 304 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.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Sheridan Sd 48j student-counselor ratio is 363:1 — 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.
Sheridan Sd 48j chronic absenteeism rate is 46.5% — 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.
