Best Public Schools in Rainier, OR

Summary:

The city of Rainier, Oregon is home to two schools: Hudson Park Elementary School and Rainier Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Rainier School District 13. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, Rainier Junior/Senior High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking higher and earning better ratings than Hudson Park Elementary School.

Rainier Junior/Senior High School is ranked 93 out of 270 Oregon high schools and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a significant improvement over Hudson Park Elementary School, which is ranked 632 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and rated only 1 star out of 5. Both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3%, and while Rainier Junior/Senior High School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, both schools face challenges in mathematics, with only 18.2% of 11th-grade students at Rainier Junior/Senior High School and 12.2% to 23% of 3rd-6th-grade students at Hudson Park Elementary School scoring proficient or better.

The data also reveals that both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests potential equity concerns within the district and highlights the importance of addressing chronic absenteeism and strengthening academic performance, particularly in mathematics, to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Rainier School District 13.
