Summary

Neah-Kah-Nie High School is a small public school serving grades 9–12 with 244 students in Rockaway Beach, a coastal community in Tillamook County, Oregon, and it is part of the highly rated Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56, which ranks 10th of 141 Oregon districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars).

Academically, 2025–2026 was a strong rebound year: the school ranked 37th of 271 Oregon high schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), up from 177th of 270 (34th percentile, 2 stars) the year before. In 2025–26, 66.7% of students met ELA standards (state: 43.8%), 41.5% met math standards (state: 32.9%), and 44.6% met science standards (state: 30.6%). Compared with Tillamook High School, about 14 miles away, Neah-Kah-Nie is roughly even in ELA (66.7% vs. 65.2%), clearly ahead in math (41.5% vs. 30%), and behind in science (44.6% vs. 53.6%). Trask River High School, about 16 miles away, enrolls only 15 students in grades 6–12 within a specialized ODE YCEP District, and its school-level test scores are suppressed, so it is context rather than a direct comparison.

Graduation and other measures add context. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 84.6%, above Oregon's 83.0% and Tillamook's 82.3%. Chronic absenteeism was 36.6% — better than Tillamook's 44.2% but still above the state's 33.5%, though far improved from over 50% in 2021–22 and 2022–23. The school spends $30,192 per student, about 73% more than Tillamook's $17,483, with a lower student-teacher ratio (13.6 vs. 15.5). About 72.95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and low-income students ranked 13th of 152 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–26, up from the 10th percentile the prior year. The main things to watch: whether this rebound lasts, lowering absenteeism, closing the science gap, and the lower recent rankings for special education (40th percentile, 2 stars) and gifted and talented (45th percentile, 2 stars) students, based on limited data.
