Hood River Valley High School

Summary:

Hood River Valley High School is a public high school serving 1,209 students in grades 9-12 in Hood River, Oregon, which is part of the Hood River County School District. This diverse school has a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with some notable comparisons to the nearby The Dalles High School.

Academically, Hood River Valley High School performs slightly above the state average in English Language Arts proficiency and significantly higher in math proficiency compared to the state. However, the school struggles with its Hispanic and low-income student populations, ranking near the bottom of Oregon high schools for those subgroups. In contrast, the school excels with its Gifted and Talented and Multi-racial students, ranking among the top schools in the state for those groups.

When compared to The Dalles High School, Hood River Valley High School outperforms in all three core subject areas, particularly in math. This may be due to the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Hood River Valley High School. However, the school's overall performance has fluctuated significantly in recent years, suggesting the need for consistent improvement efforts to maintain and build upon its academic strengths.

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.
