255^th

Better than 6% of Oregon high schools

Summary

Scappoose High School is a public high school in Scappoose, Oregon — a town northwest of Portland — serving grades 9–12 in Scappoose School District 1J and enrolling 709 students. Its nearest comparison schools are St Helens High School (7.25 miles) and Plymouth High School (8.59 miles); the rest are in the Portland, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Banks areas, roughly 12–16 miles away.

The school presents a striking contradiction. Its 2024–25 graduation rate of 95.1% beats both the district (93.4%) and the state (83.0%), and its chronic absenteeism rate of 29.3% is better than the state (33.5%) and most nearby schools. Its free/reduced-lunch rate (28.35%) is relatively low, per-student spending is $18,365, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.2 — all broadly in line with neighbors. Yet 2025–26 OSAS proficiency is far below the state: 17.2% in English language arts (state 46%), 8.1% in math (state 22.9%), and 17.1% in science (state 33.8%). Banks High School looks similar in size, poverty level, spending, and class size, but posts 71.7% ELA, 48.3% math, and 60.0% science.

State rankings have fallen sharply: 24th of 268 schools (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–24, then 178th of 270 (34th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–25, and 255th of 271 (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–26. Subgroup ranks are near the bottom statewide, including the 1st percentile for female students and for low-income students. Compared with St Helens High School, Scappoose graduates more students and has less absenteeism, but scores lower in every subject.
