Summary

Nestucca High School is a public high school located in Cloverdale, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 162 students. The school is part of the Nestucca Valley School District 101J, which is ranked 99 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nestucca High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from as high as 49th out of 283 Oregon high schools in 2017-2018 to as low as 222nd out of 258 in 2022-2023. This is significantly lower than the nearby Tillamook High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 70 Oregon high schools and maintained a 4-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in OSAS tests, has been below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, Nestucca High School has faced challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 49.0% in recent years.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $34,230 to $39,965 in recent years, the academic performance of different student subgroups has been mixed. Male students have generally performed better, while female students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students have struggled, with the school ranking in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools in these categories. Addressing these equity concerns and the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a priority for the school and district to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students.
