Summary:

Nestucca High School is a public high school located in Cloverdale, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 162 students. The school is part of the Nestucca Valley School District 101J, which is ranked 115 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Nestucca High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 49th out of 283 Oregon high schools in 2017-2018 to its current ranking of 202nd out of 268 in 2023-2024.

Nestucca High School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is significantly below the state average. In 2023-2024, only 42.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.2%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 11.1%, compared to the state average of 20%. The school's performance in Science was also low, with only 13.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 32%. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students is relatively strong, ranking 34th out of 132 Oregon high schools in 2023-2024, while the performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is much lower.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 students per teacher in 2022-2023, compared to the nearby Taft High School with a ratio of 20.9 students per teacher, and spending significantly more per student at $39,965 in 2021-2022 compared to $20,765 and $16,075 for Taft High School and Tillamook High School, respectively, Nestucca High School's academic performance remains significantly lower than the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's challenges in maintaining its academic standards and student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
