Summary

Siuslaw High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Siuslaw School District 97J in Florence, OR. With an enrollment of 425 students, the school has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, ranking 152 out of 270 Oregon high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key concerns at Siuslaw High School is the declining 4-year graduation rate, which dropped from 81.3% in 2022-2023 to 70.5% in 2023-2024, lower than the state average of 80.5%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 32.1% to 39.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of 19.1%. While Siuslaw High School performs better than the state average in English Language Arts, its math and science proficiency rates are lower than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Mapleton Junior/Senior High School, while much smaller in size, has a higher student-to-teacher ratio and spends more per student than Siuslaw High School. However, Mapleton's performance metrics are generally lower than Siuslaw's, indicating that factors beyond just resource allocation may be at play. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Siuslaw High School, ranging from 67.54% to 68.24%, also suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting student success.
