District-Level NCES Analysis
Tillamook Sd 9 operates 5 public schools serving 2,090 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 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 Tillamook County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,614 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 40.9% local, 46.4% state, and 12.6% 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 50/100, ranked #76 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.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 293.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 44.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.0% White, 29.2% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Liberty Elementary School, with a diversity index of 53.8/100.
Its largest campus is Tillamook High School, enrolling 729 students (36% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Liberty Elementary School, at 235 students, a 3x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Tillamook High School accounts for 34.9% of all Tillamook Sd 9 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Tillamook Sd 9-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.
Tillamook Sd 9 school enrollment varies 3.1× across entities
Tillamook Sd 9 school enrollment ranges from 235 students (lowest) to 729 students (highest), a spread of 494 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.
Tillamook Sd 9 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 60.9% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
Tillamook Sd 9 student-counselor ratio is 294:1 — 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 Tillamook Sd 9 is typically wider than the Tillamook Sd 9-aggregate figure suggests.
Tillamook Sd 9 chronic absenteeism rate is 44.4% — 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.
