District-Level NCES Analysis
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 operates 6 public schools serving 1,381 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Oregon. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle, 1 combined 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 $13,221 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 22.5% local, 58.2% state, and 19.3% 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 41/100, ranked #109 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.
a 312.2:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 61.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.1% White, 9.9% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Mcgovern Elementary School, with a diversity index of 36.8/100.
Its largest campus is Douglas High School, enrolling 357 students (28% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Dillard Alternative High School, at 41 students, a 9x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Douglas High School accounts for 25.9% of all Winston-Dillard Sd 116 student enrollment
That concentration means Winston-Dillard Sd 116-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.
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 school enrollment varies 8.7× across entities
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 school enrollment ranges from 41 students (lowest) to 357 students (highest), a spread of 316 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.
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 72.7% 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.
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 student-counselor ratio is 312:1 — 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 Winston-Dillard Sd 116 is typically wider than the Winston-Dillard Sd 116-aggregate figure suggests.
Winston-Dillard Sd 116 chronic absenteeism rate is 61.9% — 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.
