Willamina High School

Summary:

Willamina High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Willamina, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Willamina School District 30J, which is ranked 138 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willamina High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in proficiency rates for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 19.6% compared to the state average of 45.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 11.1% compared to the state average of 20%. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a high point in the 2013-2014 school year when it ranked 65 out of 301 Oregon high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its ranking has since declined, and it currently ranks 234 out of 268 Oregon high schools, with a 1-star rating. Compared to nearby schools, such as McMinnville High School, which has significantly higher proficiency rates, Willamina High School generally underperforms.

Willamina High School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 129.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school also has a significant population of Native American students, who have historically performed better than the overall student population, ranking 3rd out of 4 Oregon high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, the school's White student population has consistently underperformed, ranking 232 out of 244 Oregon high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources.

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.
