Student-teacher ratio in context
How Spray School compares with Oregon and U.S. medians
What stands out at Spray School
Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing
Spray School sits near the smaller end of the Oregon enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.
Resource indicators are the standout signal
Spray School's economic-need measure is not at a state extreme, while its Resource Investment Index is. The campus outranks most Oregon schools on the combined reported-resource measure, so the differentiator comes from staffing, counselor access, gifted programming, or attendance rather than from an unusually low-need population alone. The component breakdown identifies which inputs actually produce that placement.
Attendance is a relative strength
1.7% of Spray School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
Spray School is a small combined-grade school in Spray, Oregon, enrolling 58 students.
Classes run notably small here: at 8.3:1, Spray School is leaner than roughly 97% of Oregon schools and 53% under the state's 17.6:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 49.2% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
This is a small campus: fewer students than 94% of Oregon schools, with 58 enrolled.
Its Resource Investment Index outscores 98% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, a top-tier result on this measure.
Its student body is led by White (78%) and Asian (9%) (diversity index 38/100).
Attendance holds up well here: only 1.7% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
The surrounding Spray Sd 1 spends $25,970 per pupil, 44% above the Oregon average, a better-resourced district than most.
Spray Sd 1 operates only this one school, so Spray School has no district-mates to compare against locally. At 58 students, it is also a small operation, on the smaller end of Oregon's single-school districts.
