Clackamas High School

Summary:

Clackamas High School is a public high school serving 1,224 students in grades 9-12 in Clackamas, Oregon, which is part of the North Clackamas School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, its performance remains solid within its district, though it faces some challenges in maintaining its academic standing and addressing achievement gaps among student subgroups.

Clackamas High School's academic performance has been mixed, with the school performing above district and state averages in English Language Arts but lagging behind in Mathematics and Science. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from a high of 16th in 2018-2019 to 148th in 2023-2024, which could be due to a variety of factors. However, the school's performance in specific student subgroups has been more varied, with male students and Hispanic students generally performing better than female students and African American students. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing these achievement gaps and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.

Compared to its neighboring schools, Milwaukie High School and New Urban High School, Clackamas High School's performance is generally stronger, but it lags behind the higher-performing Milwaukie Academy of the Arts and Adrienne C. Nelson High School. By learning from the successes of these higher-performing schools and addressing its own challenges, Clackamas High School can work to improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
