Pacific High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Pacific High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the coastal town of Port Orford, Oregon, with a student population of just 56 students. The school is part of the Port Orford-Langlois School District 2CJ, which is ranked 74 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pacific High School has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 15th out of 292 Oregon high schools in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 to a low of 152nd out of 268 in the current 2023-2024 school year. This volatility suggests inconsistent performance, with a notable decline in recent years. However, the school's academic performance is generally below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with the exception of a strong ELA proficiency rate of 61.5% in 2022-2023, which was significantly higher than the state average of 46.2%. Interestingly, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $32,300 for the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the nearby Bandon Senior High School, which has a per-student spending of $20,468.

Another notable finding is the significant performance gap between male and female students at Pacific High School, with male students ranking 40th out of 250 Oregon high schools compared to 167th out of 251 for female students in the 2017-2018 school year. Additionally, white students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed relatively well, ranking 107th out of 266 and 38th out of 254 Oregon high schools, respectively, in 2017-2018. These disparities suggest that the school may need to address equity and inclusion issues to ensure all students are receiving the support they need.
