Summary

Willamette High School is a public high school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 1,474 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bethel School District 52, which is ranked 117 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willamette High School faces several academic challenges. Its standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 81.3% to 89.9%, which is below the desired 90% or higher rate. Additionally, Willamette High School has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.2% to 38.1%, much higher than the state's desired rate of 15% or less.

When compared to nearby schools, Willamette High School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms Kalapuya High School, which is in the same district, it lags behind schools like Sheldon High School and South Eugene High School, which are part of the Eugene School District 4J. The school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that socioeconomic factors and resource allocation may be contributing to its academic performance challenges.
