Summary

Stayton High School is a public high school located in Stayton, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 676 students. The school is part of the North Santiam School District 29J, which is ranked 81 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stayton High School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking over the past several years, ranging from 87th to 206th out of Oregon high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 1 to 3 stars. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female and Hispanic students performing better than male and white students in recent years. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively weaker. Stayton High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 79.1% to 94.7% over the past few years, with some fluctuations.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Silverton High School and Cascade Senior High School, Stayton High School's performance is generally lower, with higher statewide rankings, better academic performance, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Stayton High School's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 45.1% in recent years, are a concern and may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance, which has been below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.08% to 69.67% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with a relatively lower socioeconomic status, which may also be a factor in its academic performance.
