District-Level NCES Analysis
Sutherlin Sd 130 operates 5 public schools serving 1,362 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 elementary 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 Douglas County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,763 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 19.3% local, 67.1% state, and 13.5% 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 44/100, ranked #101 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 87:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 44.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.6% White, 12.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Sutherlin High School, with a diversity index of 37.5/100.
Its largest campus is Sutherlin High School, enrolling 371 students (29% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Sutherlin Valley Online Academy, at 87 students, a 4x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Sutherlin High School accounts for 27.2% of all Sutherlin Sd 130 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Sutherlin Sd 130-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.
Sutherlin Sd 130 school enrollment varies 4.3× across entities
Sutherlin Sd 130 school enrollment ranges from 87 students (lowest) to 371 students (highest), a spread of 284 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.
Sutherlin Sd 130 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 69.5% 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.
Sutherlin Sd 130 student-counselor ratio is 87:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Sutherlin Sd 130 chronic absenteeism rate is 44.5% — 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.
