North Clackamas SD 12

North Clackamas SD 12 serves 16,922 students across 31 schools in suburban Clackamas County, Oregon, with a teaching staff of 869. The district maintains moderate enrollment stability typical of established suburban systems.

Academic performance shows mixed results relative to state benchmarks. Math proficiency stands at 30.2%, exceeding the state average of 27.9%, while reading proficiency at 41.4% slightly surpasses the state average of 40.7%. The graduation rate of 87.9% notably outpaces Oregon's 84.5% state average, and the dropout rate of 1.7% reflects relatively strong completion outcomes. However, chronic absenteeism at 30.5% represents a significant concern and potential drag on overall achievement.

The student population reflects substantial diversity and support needs. Economically disadvantaged students comprise 24.5% of enrollment, English learners account for 14.2%, and students with disabilities represent 18.0%. Racial demographics show 53.4% White students, 20.6% Hispanic, 12.3% Asian, and 3.2% Black students.

Financial resources present constraints relative to state context. Per-pupil spending of $9,455 falls below Oregon's average of $10,234, creating a funding gap of approximately $779 per student. This resource differential may influence the district's capacity to address chronic absenteeism and support its diverse learner populations. The combination of above-average graduation outcomes alongside below-average per-pupil spending suggests the district operates with operational efficiency while potentially facing resource limitations for comprehensive support services.
