Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Gilchrist, Oregon, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the Klamath County School District, which is ranked 88 out of 140 districts in the state.

Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (60%) were significantly higher than the district (50.5%) and state (45.2%) averages, its 7th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (20%) and mathematics proficiency rates for both 11th grade (10%) and 7th grade (12.5%) were significantly lower. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate (6.7%) was also significantly lower than the district (13.6%) and state (25.9%) averages. Additionally, the school's white students and low socioeconomic status students have seen more significant fluctuations in their rankings over the years, with the school's low socioeconomic status students ranking 61st out of 254 Oregon high schools in 2017-2018 but dropping to 206th out of 224 in 2022-2023.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($29,243 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby LaPine Senior High School ($19,335 in 2021-2022), Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School has not been able to translate this higher spending into consistently strong academic performance. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients (74.04% in 2022-2023) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (10 to 10.5 students per teacher) may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, suggesting the need for the school to re-evaluate its resource allocation and explore more effective ways to support student learning.

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.
