Summary

Knappa High School is a public high school located in Astoria, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 139 students. The school is part of the Knappa School District 4, which is ranked 102 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Knappa High School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 92nd to 254th out of Oregon high schools over the past 10 years, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5. Female students have performed relatively well, ranking as high as 43rd out of 211 Oregon high schools, while male students have had a more mixed performance, ranking as high as 34th out of 200 Oregon high schools, but also as low as 164th out of 237. The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 73% to 84.2% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the state average, and it has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.2% to 41.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Knappa High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Seaside High School, Warrenton High School, and Astoria Senior High School, which all have higher statewide rankings and better academic outcomes. However, Knappa High School's spending per student is higher than these nearby schools, suggesting that additional funding may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and equity gaps between student subgroups could be key focus areas for improvement at Knappa High School.
