Summary

Pilot Rock High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 155 students in the small town of Pilot Rock, Oregon. This school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, with 61.5% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 44.4%. The school's 8th-grade students also excel in Mathematics, with 50% proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 28.9%. Pilot Rock High School's academic performance has been relatively stable over the years, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's most impressive achievements is its exceptional graduation rate, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in recent years, far exceeding the state average. This success is particularly noteworthy given that Pilot Rock School District 2 has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, Pilot Rock High School has been able to provide effective support and resources to its diverse student population, resulting in strong academic outcomes across different subgroups.

When compared to the nearby schools in the Pendleton School District 16, Pilot Rock High School consistently outperforms them in academic performance, particularly in ELA and Science. This suggests that the school may have more effective teaching practices or a more tailored curriculum that better meets the needs of its students. However, the school does face the challenge of relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area the school may need to address to further improve student outcomes.
