Summary

Siuslaw High School is a public high school in Florence, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 413 students, and it is the high school of Siuslaw School District 97J, which ranks 47th of 141 districts in the state. The school itself ranks higher than its district: 69th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 75th percentile with 4 stars.

That ranking reflects a dramatic turnaround. After falling to the 19th percentile in 2023–2024, Siuslaw High School climbed to the 44th percentile in 2024–2025 and then to the 75th percentile — close to its historic best. English language arts and science are the clearest strengths: at 11th grade, 57.6% of students are proficient in ELA (state: 46.0%) and 47.8% in science (state: 33.8%). Math is the weak spot at 25.8% proficient, though that still edges above the state's 11th-grade rate of 22.9%. Gains have been broad across student groups, including male students and low-income students, which is notable given that 82.81% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025.

Two areas need attention. Chronic absenteeism rose to 43.8% in 2024–2025 — above the district's 36.9% and the state's 33.5% — and the graduation rate, while improving from 66.0% in 2020–2021 to 76.2%, remains below Oregon's 83.0%. The nearest comparison, Mapleton Junior/Senior High School (12.91 miles away, 76 students, grades 6–12), posts better attendance (34.3%) and graduation (91.7%) but far weaker all-grade ELA (18.8%) and math (under 5%), and many of its 11th-grade results are suppressed. Mapleton also spends far more per student ($42,392 vs. $22,703), which is typical of a very small school. Siuslaw's student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.8.
