Summary:
Myrtle Point School District 41 in Oregon is home to a single high school, Myrtle Point High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 114th out of 241 high schools in 2021-2022 to 223rd out of 268 high schools in 2023-2024. With a SchoolDigger rating of only 1 out of 5 stars, Myrtle Point High School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state of Oregon.
Myrtle Point High School faces several challenges, including a 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, which is slightly below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.4%, and only 10.3% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 20.3%.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $23,932, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.9, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (66.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be impacting the school's performance.
