Seaside High School

Summary:

Seaside High School is a public high school in Seaside, Oregon, serving 453 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Seaside School District 10, which is ranked 98 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seaside High School has consistently underperformed the state average in academic proficiency, with only 29.5% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to the state average of 45.2%. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also concerning, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oregon high schools for female, male, Hispanic, and special education students. For example, in 2023-2024, the school ranked 191 out of 213 Oregon high schools for female students and 130 out of 132 for Hispanic students. This suggests significant equity issues that need to be addressed.

Seaside High School's overall performance and ranking have declined in recent years, with the school receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years. The school's per-student spending of $17,662 in 2021-2022 is higher than the state average, but lower than some nearby schools like Knappa High School ($22,734 per student). The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.51% in 2022-2023) suggests that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
