Summary:
Rainier School District 13 in Oregon is home to a single high school, Rainier Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 379 students. This school has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon high schools, with a high ranking of 72nd out of 258 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, and a 4-year graduation rate of 81.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average.
Rainier Junior/Senior High School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, with 60% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 44.4%. However, the school lags behind the state average in mathematics proficiency, particularly in 11th grade (18.2% proficient vs. 20.3% state average) and 8th grade (17.6% proficient vs. 28.9% state average). The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state's desired level.
Despite these areas for improvement, Rainier Junior/Senior High School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (62.53%). This context is important when considering the school's performance and the support it may need to ensure student success. While the school has performed well in the past, its statewide ranking has declined from 72nd out of 258 schools in 2022-2023 to 101st out of 268 schools in 2023-2024, a trend that the school and district should monitor and investigate further.
