Summary:
The Sutherlin School District 130 in Oregon is home to two high schools: Sutherlin High School and Sutherlin Valley Online Academy. While both schools serve the same district, their performance and resource allocation differ significantly.
Sutherlin High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science test scores. The school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top half of Oregon high schools. In contrast, Sutherlin Valley Online Academy struggles, with a 1-star rating and a bottom-quarter statewide ranking, potentially due to its significantly higher student-teacher ratio.
The analysis also reveals potential equity concerns within the district. Sutherlin High School serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 80% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school spends significantly more per student than Sutherlin Valley Online Academy, raising questions about the equitable distribution of resources and support within the district.
