Springwater Trail High School

Summary:

Springwater Trail High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Gresham, Oregon, with a relatively small student population of 188. The school is part of the Gresham-Barlow School District 10J, which is ranked 95 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Springwater Trail High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 70th out of 283 Oregon high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 212th out of 301 in 2013-2014. In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 137th out of 268 Oregon high schools, with a 2-star rating. The school outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for 11th-grade students, but lags behind in mathematics and science proficiency. Springwater Trail High School also has relatively strong performance among female students and Hispanic students, but lower performance for male students and special education students.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Clackamas High School and Adrienne C. Nelson High School, Springwater Trail High School's overall academic performance is still below the state averages in most subject areas. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,277 in 2021-2022, which may contribute to its smaller class sizes. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (79.26% in 2022-2023) likely presents challenges that the school is working to address through targeted interventions and support.

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.
