Academically, Santiam Junior/Senior High School has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon high schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 226 out of 268 Oregon high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to the Santiam Canyon School District and the state of Oregon, Santiam Junior/Senior High School consistently underperforms in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 11th grade English Language Arts, the school had a 37% proficiency rate, compared to the district's 54.1% and the state's 45.2%. In 11th grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was only 11.1%, compared to the district's 28.6% and the state's 20%.
The school's performance across different student subgroups has also been inconsistent, with significant fluctuations in rankings and ratings over the years. In the 2021-2022 school year, the school ranked highly for female and male students, but these rankings dropped significantly in the following year. The school's performance for white students and low socioeconomic status students has followed a similar pattern. Despite spending $17,348 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.3, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
