Summary:
Elgin School District 23 in Oregon is home to a single high school, Elgin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 61st out of 258 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023 to 175th out of 268 in 2023-2024.
Elgin High School's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 81.8%, slightly below the state average, while its chronic absenteeism rate was significantly higher at 34.3%. Academically, the school performed better than the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) but struggled in Mathematics and Science, as well as in lower grade levels for ELA. These academic challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively small student population of 166, its per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $22,706, significantly higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and whether the additional funding is being utilized in a way that directly benefits student outcomes. Overall, Elgin High School faces a mix of performance challenges, and addressing these issues may require a targeted approach to support the unique needs of its student body.
