Summary:
Dallas School District 2 in Oregon has only one high school, Dallas High School. This school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 91st out of 241 Oregon high schools in 2021-2022 to 199th out of 268 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 11th-grade students is also below the Dallas School District 2 and state averages.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, 26.56% of Dallas High School students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which could also impact the quality of education.
Despite the higher-than-average spending of $17,110 per student at Dallas High School, the school's declining performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized. The school's leadership and the district may need to evaluate their strategies and identify areas for improvement to help students achieve better academic outcomes.
