Summary:
Forest Grove School District 15 in Oregon has only one high school, Forest Grove High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 118th out of 268 Oregon high schools in 2023-2024 to 169th out of 258 in 2022-2023. While the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally higher than the Forest Grove School District 15 averages, they are still lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students at Forest Grove High School who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $17,323, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 19.7 in the 2022-2023 school year, which may suggest that the district is allocating resources to support the school, but the mixed academic performance suggests that there may be opportunities to optimize resource utilization.
Overall, while Forest Grove High School may face some challenges, it appears to be performing better than the district average in many areas. The school's fluctuating performance and socioeconomic factors are important considerations for parents and the community as they work to support student success.
