Summary:
Banks School District 13 in Oregon contains a single high school, Banks High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a concerning decline in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the past several years, with a current 2-star rating and ranking of 136 out of 270 Oregon high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Banks High School's four-year graduation rate of 81.8% is below the state average, and the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.5%), Mathematics (13.3%), and Science (41.9%) for 11th-grade students are all lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is a significant issue that the school and district should address.
While the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 28.94%, indicating lower socioeconomic status, the data does not provide enough context to determine how the school's performance compares to other schools in the region or with similar demographics. The school and district should closely examine these challenges and develop targeted strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students.
