Every Oregon District, by Enrollment
Spending is current spending divided by fall membership for fiscal year 2022. Proficiency and graduation rates are school year 2018-19, the last year before the pandemic interrupted state testing, so the money and the results are not from the same year. A figure marked ≈ is one the federal file published as a range rather than a value, so small groups of children stay unidentifiable; it is the middle of that range and within ten points of the real one. A dash means the federal files publish no value under that district's ID.

Sources
Spending and enrollment come from the NCES School District Finance Survey (F-33) for fiscal year 2022. Proficiency and graduation rates come from EDFacts for school year 2018-19. Districts are matched to ZIP codes through the NCES EDGE geographic relationship file. Nothing on this page is estimated or modelled: a figure is read from a federal source file or it is left blank.
Questions About Oregon School Spending
How much does the average Oregon school district spend per student?
The middle, or median, Oregon district spent $15,632 per student in fiscal year 2022, $1,089 above the national median of $14,543. The median is the better summary here: a few very small districts spend several times what a large one does, and an average would follow them. That median covers all 186 districts the state reports. Across the 186 a ZIP code can reach, which are the ones listed on this page, 537,679 students account for $8.1 billion of current spending.
Which Oregon districts spend the most and least per student?
Juntura School District 12 reports the highest figure in the table at $60,250 per student for 4 students, and Dayton School District 8 the lowest at $6,104 for 903 students. Enrollment is the denominator, so a small district with one building and one bus route honestly produces a high figure; read the two columns together.
Why are some Oregon districts missing from this table?
Every Oregon district with federal finance data appears in this table.
Does this money follow a child who is homeschooled?
No. The figure is what the district spends on a seat in its own schools, funded from local property tax, state formula aid and federal programs. Withdrawing a child removes the child from the count rather than sending the money home. TheHomeschoolingCompany is $1,788 for one student for a school year by comparison, less for each child after the first.
