What this school's NCES data tells you
Jewell School reports 119 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 14.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 9.6:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 47% below the Oregon state mean of 18.2:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 39% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 35.1% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 39% below the Oregon average and 32% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 595 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 47.9% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Jewell Sd 8 spends $46,015 per pupil district-wide, above the Oregon average of $18,086 and above the national average of $16,593. Revenue comes 22.3% from local sources (property taxes), 70.4% from the state, and 7.3% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 23/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
