Summary:
The Vernonia High School is the sole high school located within the Vernonia School District 47J in Oregon. Despite its small student population of 184, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon high schools in recent years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Vernonia High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.5%), Mathematics (9.1%), and Science (23.5%) for 11th-grade students are significantly lower than the state averages (45.2%, 20%, and 32%, respectively). Additionally, the school district as a whole is ranked 122 out of 140 districts in Oregon and is also rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of Vernonia High School.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 at Vernonia High School and the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $23,220, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 30.43% at the school indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and ensuring the effective allocation of resources will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students of Vernonia High School.
