Summary:

Junction City High School is a public high school serving 539 students in grades 9-12 in Junction City, Oregon, which is part of the Junction City School District 69.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $19,476, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 20.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 13.7% in Mathematics, and 20.7% in Science, significantly lower than the state averages. The school's academic performance has also declined over the past several years, dropping from a 4-star rating to just 1 star. When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Churchill High School and Sheldon High School, Junction City High School lags significantly in academic achievement.

Additionally, Junction City High School has struggled to support the academic success of certain student subgroups, ranking 147th out of 213 Oregon high schools for female students, 202nd out of 216 for male students, 105th out of 132 for Hispanic students, and 215th out of 244 for white students. These disparities, combined with the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (42.67%), suggest that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the academic challenges at Junction City High School. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique context and the needs of 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.
