Summary:
The Nestucca Valley School District 101J in Oregon is home to a single high school, Nestucca High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 95th out of 270 high schools in 2024-2025 to 222nd out of 258 high schools in 2022-2023.
Nestucca High School's academic achievement has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts slightly below the state average, but stronger performance in Mathematics and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 81.8% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively small student population of 162 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.1, which is slightly lower than the state average.
Nestucca High School serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 68.52%. The school's per-student spending of $34,230 for the 2022-2023 school year is significantly higher than the state average, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to ensure that increased funding and smaller class sizes are translating into improved student outcomes.
