Summary

Banks High School is a small rural public high school serving grades 9–12 with 397 students in Banks, Oregon, about 25 miles west of Portland, and the only high school in Banks School District 13. In 2025–26, it ranks 14th of 271 Oregon high schools (95th percentile, 5 stars)—the best standing in its recorded history, up from the 50th percentile in 2024–25 and 29th in 2023–24.

Its 11th-grade test scores are top-decile: 71.7% proficient in English language arts, 48.3% in math, and 60.0% in science. The graduation rate is 98.1%, 15.1 points above the state, and chronic absenteeism is 31.2%, better than the state and most nearby schools. Among comprehensive neighborhood high schools, it leads on every tested subject, graduation rate, and absenteeism: Forest Grove High School (5.5 miles away) posts 45.8% ELA, 14.3% math, 29.6% science, and an 84.0% graduation rate; Scappoose High School (14.7 miles) posts 17.2%, 8.1%, and 17.1%, respectively. Only Beaverton Academy of Science and Engineering, a 6–12 science/engineering option school, scores higher on tested subjects, but it is not a like-for-like neighborhood school. It also spends $17,010 per student—less than Forest Grove High School—while running a 20.4 student–teacher ratio.

A few things to watch: about 31% of students are chronically absent even though graduation is near perfect, and the student–teacher ratio has tightened from 18.9 to 20.4 over three years. The share of economically disadvantaged students has grown to 30.23% from 21.33% two years earlier. Gifted and Talented students rank in the 65th percentile, well below the school's overall 95th percentile. Small schools can also swing sharply: Gaston Junior/Senior High School has stayed in the 28th–43rd percentile range, while Scappoose High School fell from the 91st percentile in 2023–24 to the 6th in 2025–26. The school's 98.1% graduation rate and 14th-place rank are strong, but best read as a current high point in a historically strong, volatile series.
