Summary:
The La Grande School District 1 in Oregon has only one high school, La Grande High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 74th out of 241 Oregon high schools in 2021-2022 to 158th out of 268 in 2023-2024, its performance on state assessments is mixed compared to district and state averages.
La Grande High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.5%) and Mathematics (8.6%) were lower than the state averages (45.2% and 20%, respectively) in 2023-2024, but its proficiency rate in Science (34.9%) was higher than the state average (32%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (64.3% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the higher spending per student ($16,209 in 2021-2022), the school's academic performance has declined over the past two years.
The La Grande School District 1 as a whole is ranked 60th out of 140 districts in Oregon and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be room for improvement across the district, and analyzing the performance of other schools in the district and identifying best practices could help inform strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students.
