What stands out at Millicoma School

Millicoma School is a mid-sized elementary school in Coos Bay, Oregon, enrolling 473 students.

Class loads run heavy: 21.5:1 is larger than about 87% of Oregon schools and 22% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 46.4% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 473 puts it in the larger third of Oregon schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 94% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 106 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #92, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is led by White (77%) and Hispanic or Latino (11%) (diversity index 39/100).

Counselor access is stretched at roughly 473 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 54.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

The surrounding Coos Bay Sd 9 spends $14,108 per pupil, 22% below the Oregon average, a leaner-resourced district than most.

Among Coos Bay's elementary schools, it stands alongside Sunset School (380 students): Millicoma School is larger than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (21.5:1 vs 19:1).
