Summary:
The city of Fairview, Oregon has only one high school, Reynolds Learning Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon high schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.
Reynolds Learning Academy's academic achievement is significantly below district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.7% in the Reynolds School District 7 and 44.4% statewide. Similarly, only 9.5% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 16.8% in the district and 32.6% statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 81.8%, which is lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's poor performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 and high per-student spending of $27,448 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 110.88% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high-need student population. These demographic and funding factors suggest that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes at Reynolds Learning Academy, and the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices, student engagement, and support services to address the underlying factors contributing to its poor performance.
