Summary:

Sheridan High School is a public high school located in Sheridan, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Sheridan School District 48J, which is ranked 100 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 45.2%. Similarly, only 11.3% were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 32%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female and male students, as well as Hispanic and white students, who rank significantly lower than their peers statewide.

Sheridan High School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 148.21% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's performance is also significantly lower than many of the nearby schools, such as Yamhill Carlton High School, which ranked 77 out of 268 Oregon high schools in 2023-2024 and had much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite the challenges, Sheridan High School's small size and relatively high spending per student could present opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized support 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.
