Dallas High School

Summary:

Dallas High School is a public high school located in Dallas, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 836 students. It is part of the Dallas School District 2, which is ranked 57 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dallas High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 42nd out of 283 Oregon high schools in 2017-2018 to 199th out of 268 in 2023-2024, its performance on state assessments (OSAS) is below the state average, with only 25.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 11% in Mathematics, and 28.4% in Science in 2023-2024. Compared to the district and state averages, Dallas High School's performance on state assessments is consistently lower across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students ranking 159th out of 213 Oregon high schools and male students ranking 158th out of 216, indicating a gender gap in academic achievement. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students is more promising, ranking 96th out of 132 Oregon high schools in 2023-2024, and its special education students have performed well, ranking 5th out of 80 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023.

The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 26.56% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, as the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students has been mixed, ranking 105th out of 170 Oregon high schools in 2023-2024 but 64th out of 224 in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby high schools, such as Amity High School, Willamina High School, and the schools in the Salem-Keizer School District, Dallas High School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a lower statewide ranking, suggesting the need for the school and district to address the underlying factors contributing to this decline and learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
