District-Level NCES Analysis
Sherwood Sd 88j operates 7 public schools serving 4,915 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 elementary, 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 Marion County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,598 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 47.4% local, 46.5% state, and 6.1% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 19/100, ranked #155 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 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 388.8:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 24.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 72.5% White, 12.8% Hispanic or Latino, 4.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Ridges Elementary School, with a diversity index of 53.4/100.
Its largest campus is Sherwood High School, enrolling 1,668 students (35% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sherwood Charter School, at 222 students, a 8x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Sherwood High School accounts for 33.9% of all Sherwood Sd 88j student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Sherwood Sd 88j-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.
Sherwood Sd 88j school enrollment varies 7.5× across entities
Sherwood Sd 88j school enrollment ranges from 222 students (lowest) to 1,668 students (highest), a spread of 1,446 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.
Sherwood Sd 88j 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.
Sherwood Sd 88j chronic absenteeism rate is 24.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Sherwood Sd 88j is typically wider than the Sherwood Sd 88j-aggregate figure suggests.
