Corvallis High School

Summary:

Corvallis High School is a public high school serving 1,284 students in grades 9-12 in Corvallis, Oregon, which is part of the highly-ranked Corvallis School District 509J. While the school has had fluctuating performance over the past decade, it currently boasts test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are consistently higher than the state average.

One key differentiator for Corvallis High School is the varying performance across different student subgroups. White and Asian students have performed well, ranking in the top 25% and top 12% of Oregon high schools respectively, but Hispanic and Multi-racial students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% and bottom 50%. This disparity suggests the school may need to focus on addressing equity and providing targeted support for underperforming groups. Additionally, Corvallis High School spends $19,410 per student, which is higher than the state average and the spending of nearby schools like Lebanon High School ($16,870) and South Albany High School ($15,892), but has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.1 compared to nearby schools.

Despite its strong academic foundation, Corvallis High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from a high of 11th in 2014-2015 to 102nd in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence. Addressing these challenges, as well as the disparities in student group performance and the school's resource allocation compared to its peers, will be crucial for Corvallis High School to continue providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
