Summary

Hood River Valley High School is a public high school in Hood River, Oregon, serving 1,160 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hood River County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the school has seen some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average graduation rates, it has also faced challenges in student academic performance and chronic absenteeism. On state assessments, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were below the state averages. However, the school has shown some improvement in recent years, with math proficiency rates increasing. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and multi-racial students performing well, but Hispanic and low-income students struggling.

Compared to the nearby The Dalles High School, Hood River Valley High School has a higher overall ranking and star rating, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, The Dalles High School serves a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. Despite these challenges, Hood River Valley High School has access to relatively high per-student funding, which could be leveraged to address areas of concern and provide a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all its students.
