Class loads run heavy: 22.2:1 is larger than about 89% of Oregon schools and 26% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 62.2% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
With 378 students, its enrollment sits close to the Oregon median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 1,273 scored Oregon schools.
Among 326 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #255, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (70%) and Hispanic or Latino (16%) (diversity index 47/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 69.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.9% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
