Summary:
The Silver Falls School District 4J in Oregon is home to a single high school, Silverton High School. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and overall performance in recent years, it continues to serve the local community with a focus on academic achievement and student support.
Silverton High School's performance metrics have shown some inconsistency, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics fluctuating above and below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 81.8% is below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is significantly higher than the state average. These factors have contributed to the school's drop in statewide ranking from 63rd out of 258 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023 to 137th out of 270 in 2024-2025, as well as a decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the data suggests that Silverton High School may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and overall standing. The school's significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, could be a contributing factor to these challenges. As the sole high school in the Silver Falls School District 4J, Silverton High School remains a crucial educational institution for the local community, and its continued improvement and support will be essential for the success of its students.
