Summary:
The city of Sandy, Oregon is home to a single high school, Sandy High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 180th out of 270 Oregon high schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars), 211th out of 268 in 2023-2024 (1 out of 5 stars), and 157th out of 258 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 81.8%, which is below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 34.3%, which is quite high.
Academically, Sandy High School has struggled to keep pace with state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 11th-grade students proficient or better in OSAS/English Language Arts was 34.4%, compared to the Oregon state average of 44.4%. In OSAS/Mathematics, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rate was 12.7%, significantly lower than the state average of 20.3%. The school's performance in OSAS/Science for 11th-grade students was 29.7%, also below the state average of 32.6%. While the school has shown some improvement from the 2023-2024 school year, its academic performance still lags behind the state averages across all three subject areas.
The data also reveals that Oregon Trail School District 46, which oversees Sandy High School, has a relatively high percentage of students (43.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $16,603, which is above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 26.8, which is on the higher side. These factors suggest that the school may need to optimize the allocation of its resources to better support student learning and achievement.
