Pilot Rock High School

Summary:

Pilot Rock High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 155 students in the rural town of Pilot Rock, Oregon. The school is part of the Pilot Rock School District 2, which is ranked 64 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pilot Rock High School has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 28th to 238th out of Oregon high schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 123rd, with a 3-star rating. Compared to the state average, Pilot Rock High School performs better in English Language Arts (ELA) for 7th and 11th grades, but lower in Mathematics for 11th grade. The school's performance in Science is also mixed, with 11th-grade students performing better than the state average, but 8th-grade students performing below. Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and White students generally outperforming their peers.

While Pilot Rock High School outperforms the larger Pendleton High School, it faces competition from the smaller Nixyaawii Community School, which has shown stronger academic performance in certain subject areas. Pilot Rock High School spends $21,006 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the inconsistent academic performance suggests the need to evaluate the effectiveness of these resource allocations and implement targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all 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.
