Summary
Culver High School is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Culver, Oregon, with 229 students in the Culver School District 4. Its most recent state rank is 258th of 271 (5th percentile, 0 stars) for 2025–2026 — a steep drop from 2022–2023, when it placed 134th of 258 (48th percentile, 2 stars). Some of that swing reflects the school's small size: with only a few hundred students, a handful of students can move a grade-level percentage significantly.
Academically, the picture is mixed. In English language arts, 31.3% of Culver's tested high school students were proficient — below the state's 46.0% and well below Ridgeview High School (54.7%), but roughly level with Redmond High School (30.0%) and above Madras High School (26.5%) and Bridges High School (16.7%). Science is the clearest concern: only 5.7% proficiency, far below the state's 33.8% and lower than every nearby comparison high school, including Ridgeview (16.2%), Redmond High (28.0%), and Madras (18.2%). Math proficiency is suppressed by the state, so the school's math result is unknown rather than confirmed to be low.
Graduation is Culver's standout strength: 94.8% in 2024–2025, above the state's 83.0% and most nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 37.4%, above both the district's 28.3% and the state's 33.5%, and it has risen sharply since 2020–2021 (18.4%). About 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a lower share than every nearby comparison school — and per-student spending is $21,630, with a 16.6 student–teacher ratio. Taken together, the data points to three priorities: improving science outcomes, addressing attendance, and clarifying the suppressed math result.
