Class loads run heavy: 25.7:1 is larger than about 96% of Oregon schools and 46% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Economic need is high: 75.4% of students qualify for free meals, 43% above the Oregon average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.

This is a small campus: fewer students than 92% of Oregon schools, with 77 enrolled.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 100% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 26 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #26, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is led by White (79%) and Hispanic or Latino (14%) (diversity index 35/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 50.6% 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.
