Powers High School

Summary:

Powers High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Powers, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 66 students. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from 30th out of 292 Oregon high schools in 2015-2016 to 280th out of 283 in 2017-2018.

Powers High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 54.55% White, 15.15% Hispanic, 7.58% Native American, and 22.73% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by OSAS test scores, is generally lower than the state average, with only 20% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 10% in Mathematics and Science, compared to the state averages of 41.9%, 25.5%, and 26%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.67% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average.

While Powers High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.5 students per teacher compared to the nearby Myrtle Point High School (14.6 students per teacher), its academic performance is significantly lower. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting student learning and achievement, despite its higher diversity and lower student-teacher ratio. The school's high spending per student, at $26,329 in the 2021-2022 school year, also indicates the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student 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.
