Toledo Senior High School

Toledo Senior High School is a 9–12 school serving 196 students in Toledo, Oregon, a small town in coastal Lincoln County, and it is one of four high-school-level campuses in the Lincoln County School District. The school's statewide standing has been weak and volatile for a decade, typically landing in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools; in 2025–2026 it ranked 237th of 271 (13th percentile, 1 star), down sharply from an outlier 54th-percentile year in 2021–2022 that looks like a small, atypical cohort rather than lasting improvement.

Proficiency is low in every subject. In 2025–2026, 26.3% of students met standards in English language arts, 13.5% in math, and 13.5% in science — roughly 60% of the state ELA rate, 41% in math, and 44% in science, and last or near-last among its peers. The most striking comparison is Waldport High School: same district, nearly identical enrollment (204), nearly identical per-student spending ($27,133 vs. $27,598), and an identical 18.2 student–teacher ratio, yet Waldport reaches 86% ELA proficiency and sits at the 94th percentile statewide. Newport High School spends 36% less per student ($20,309) and still outperforms Toledo in every subject, while Compass School, a 19-student program, is too small for stable figures.

Attendance is the sharpest local concern: 50.0% of Toledo students are chronically absent, 16.5 points above the state and 16–17 points above Waldport and Newport, and above its own district (39.1%). Meanwhile, the 89.3% graduation rate is above the state's 83.0% — a disconnect suggesting students are finishing school without grade-level mastery. Results also differ sharply by gender, with the school at the 25th percentile for female students but the 3rd percentile for male students, which makes attendance and targeted student support the most actionable areas for families to watch.
