Summary:
Banks School District 13 in Oregon has only one high school, Banks High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 39th in 2017-2018 to 189th in 2023-2024, and it now holds a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Banks High School underperforms the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency among 11th-grade students. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.2% of 11th-graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.2%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics and Science proficiency rates were 14.7% and 30.4%, respectively, lower than the state averages of 20% and 32%.
Despite the high per-student spending of $21,513 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.9 in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, of which 21.33% receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status. The school's leadership may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support student success and improve the school's overall performance.
