Catalyst High School

Summary:

Catalyst High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Newberg, Oregon, which is part of the Newberg School District 29J. However, Catalyst High School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages, ranking 243 out of 268 Oregon high schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Catalyst High School's academic performance is particularly low, with only 17.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 7.7% in Mathematics, and 19% in Science.

Understanding the specific factors contributing to Catalyst High School's underperformance, such as student demographics and resource allocation, would be crucial in developing strategies to improve the school's academic outcomes.

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.
