Summary:

North Marion High School is a public high school located in Aurora, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 603 students. The school is part of the North Marion School District 15, which is ranked 128 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Marion High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average and nearby schools in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 38.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.2%. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with the school's rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools. As a result, North Marion High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 110 out of 292 high schools in 2014-2015 to 216 out of 268 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's overall rating from SchoolDigger has also decreased from 3 stars to 1 star during this period.

The data shows a stark contrast between North Marion High School and some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as John F. Kennedy High School and St. Paul High School, which consistently outperform North Marion High School in academic measures. Despite spending $26,323 per student, which is higher than the state average, North Marion High School's academic outcomes suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning, particularly for 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.
