Summary

South Wasco County Middle/High School is a public school located in Maupin, Oregon, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the South Wasco County School District 1, which is ranked 94 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has been variable over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 34th out of 283 Oregon high schools in 2016-2017 to 224th out of 308 in 2011-2012. Its SchoolDigger rating has also fluctuated, from 2 stars out of 5 in 2014-2015 to 4 stars in 2016-2017 and 2021-2022. Currently, South Wasco County Middle/High School ranks 123rd out of 270 Oregon high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating. Interestingly, female students at the school have consistently outperformed their male counterparts, while low socioeconomic status (SES) students have also performed relatively well compared to other schools in the state.

Despite some strengths, the school faces several challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 70.6% to 81.8% in recent years, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 47.8%. Academically, the school's performance in English Language Arts is relatively strong, with 61.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 44.4%. However, the school's mathematics and science scores are significantly below the state average, indicating a need to focus on improving these subject areas. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, along with its relatively high per-student spending, suggest that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance.
