Summary:
The city of Dallas, Oregon is home to a single high school, Dallas High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 111 out of 258 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023 to 226 out of 270 in 2024-2025.
Dallas High School's graduation rate of 81.8% in 2023-2024 is lower than the state average, and the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24.7%), Mathematics (6.1%), and Science (25.1%) are all well below the state averages, and these rates have declined in recent years. The school's per-student spending of $18,508 in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 19.8, slightly higher than the state average.
These findings suggest that Dallas School District 2 and Dallas High School need to address the underlying causes of the school's academic challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and the needs of economically disadvantaged students. Implementing targeted interventions and support systems could help improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in the Dallas community have access to a high-quality education.
