Summary

Rainier Junior/Senior High School is a 7–12 school in Rainier, Oregon, serving 366 students as part of Rainier School District 13. It earned 2 stars and ranked 140th of 271 Oregon high schools (48th percentile) for 2025–2026; the district placed 87th of 141. Its results have swung widely, from 20th percentile / 1 star in 2021–2022 to 72nd percentile / 4 stars in 2022–2023, then down to 48th percentile / 2 stars this year.

Academically, results are mixed. On 2025–2026 state tests, Rainier beat its district in English language arts (36.1%), math (22.9%), and science (35.2%), and its science score was above the state's 30.6%. But ELA and math remained below state averages. Grade-level results vary sharply: 8th grade ELA is a bright spot at 57.6% proficient (state: 41.5%), while 7th grade ELA is just 8.9% (state: 45.3%) and 8th grade math is 19.0% (state: 30.0%). Compared with nearby schools, Rainier's overall math proficiency is higher than St Helens High School (12.3%), Vernonia High School (11.5%), and Clatskanie Middle/High School (15.1%).

The biggest concerns are finishing and showing up. Rainier's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 62.2%, well below Oregon's 83.0%, and chronic absenteeism was 48.6% versus the state's 33.5%; among nearby schools only Plymouth High School (55.2%) was lower. The comparable Clatskanie Middle/High School posts 76.9% graduation and 31.0% absenteeism. About 78.96% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest locally, yet per-student spending ($21,636) tops St Helens High School and the 16.6 student–teacher ratio beats most neighbors — suggesting attendance and high school ELA, not resources, are the main hurdles. One consistent strength: the school ranks in the 73rd–87th percentile for low-income students.
