Summary

Clatskanie Middle/High School is a small public school in Clatskanie, Oregon, serving 307 students in grades 7–12 as part of Clatskanie School District 6J. It is located in a rural area and competes with two nearby schools: Vernonia High School (grades 9–12, 178 students) and Rainier Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12, 366 students). Its district is ranked 94th of 141 in Oregon, but the school itself has a much stronger recent profile: in 2025–2026, it ranked 63rd of 271 Oregon high schools, or 77th percentile with 4 stars.

For parents, the most encouraging data is in the upper grades and attendance. In 11th grade, Clatskanie’s English language arts proficiency was 73.8%, well above the state’s 46.0% and higher than Vernonia’s 66.7% and Rainier’s 34.5%. In 11th-grade math, Clatskanie’s 28.6% also topped the state’s 22.9% and both nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot: 31.0% in 2024–2025, better than Oregon’s 33.5% and far better than Vernonia’s 47.3% and Rainier’s 48.6%. The school’s rank has also climbed dramatically, from 9th percentile in 2018–2019 to 77th percentile in 2025–2026.

The main challenge is in grades 7 and 8, where results are much lower than state averages. For example, 7th-grade ELA was 19.6% versus the state’s 45.3%, 8th-grade ELA was 22.4% versus 41.5%, 7th-grade math was 6.5% versus 33.3%, 8th-grade math was 12.1% versus 30.0%, and 8th-grade science was 17.2% versus 27.7%. That drags down all-grade math to 15.1%, compared with the state’s 32.9%. Graduation is another mixed area: Clatskanie’s 76.9% rate is above Rainier’s 62.2% but below Vernonia’s 80.0% and the state’s 83.0%, and it has been volatile. Class sizes are relatively small, with a 15.1 student-teacher ratio and $23,680 spent per student in 2024–2025.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Teachers do not go out of their way to help students succeed. They can be failing every class and still be allwoed to participate in sports, which I dont think that should be allowed. As a parent I want my child to succeed and when there are problems they get pushed to the side and nothing is resolved. Teachers are just there because its their job, when they should want to see the children do well and when a child is struggling, from what I have noticed, they just dont care. They dont go out of their way to attempt to even want to figure it out. Its all the childs fault when that may not be the case at all. All of the staff children are treated differently and are all stright A students and why is that? And why is this school unranked? I thought that teachers are there because they love kids and love to teach, but I have yet to see that at this school and it is really sad. Close Quote
