Summary

Sheridan High School is a small, rural public high school serving grades 9–12 at 433 S Bridge St in Sheridan, Oregon, a Yamhill County community, and with 211 students it is the only high school in Sheridan School District 48J. Because the school tests essentially one grade cohort of about 50 eleventh-graders, each proficiency point represents roughly half a student, so a handful of teenagers can move a rate several points — worth keeping in mind before drawing conclusions from any single year.

Two numbers define this school's profile. Sheridan graduates 86.4% of its students — above the state's 83.0% and more than 10 points above its own district's 76.1% — yet only 36.7% were proficient in English language arts and just 6.5% in math. That math figure is the lowest of all ten comparison schools, below the small-rural peer average of 14.6% and far under the state, and it amounts to roughly three or four students out of about fifty. Chronic absenteeism also jumped from 32.8% to 49.7% in a single year, leaving Sheridan 16 points above the state and third-worst in the group, behind Willamina High School (60.3%) and Falls City High School (58.5%).

The direction, though, is positive: percentile rank has climbed from 2 to 11 to 26 over three years, the graduation rate rose 8 points, and science — 29.0% — sits within about 1.6 points of the state and 11 points above small-rural peers, making it the school's relative strength. Sheridan also beats nearby Willamina High School on nearly every measure, while McMinnville High School, 13 miles away, reaches the 73rd percentile with 4 stars while spending the least per student in the group, $17,531. Sheridan spends $22,849 per student yet carries a student-teacher ratio of 21.1, up from 15.1 the year before.
