Umatilla High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools, with a ranking between 199-240 out of 241-268 schools over the past several years. Its performance on state assessments (OSAS) is also significantly below the state average, with only 34.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 10.8% in Mathematics, and 10.9% in Science in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, who ranked 200 out of 213 Oregon high schools, and Hispanic students, who ranked 110 out of 132. With 78.62% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Umatilla High School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

While the nearby schools, such as Riverside Junior/Senior High School, Stanfield Secondary School, and Irrigon Junior/Senior High School, generally perform better than Umatilla High School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, they still struggle to meet the state averages, indicating a broader challenge in the region. Addressing the school's socioeconomic and district-level factors, as well as implementing targeted interventions, could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Umatilla High School.

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.
