Summary

Sweet Home High School is a public high school located in Sweet Home, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 726 students. The school is part of the Sweet Home School District 55, which is ranked 74 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sweet Home High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 83 out of 301 Oregon high schools in 2013-2014 (4-star rating) to a low of 215 out of 258 in 2022-2023 (1-star rating). The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Hispanic students but struggles with the performance of Multi-racial and Gifted and Talented students. Sweet Home High School's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 78.1% to 81.8% in recent years, but are still lower than the desired 90% or higher graduation rate. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.3% to 44.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Central Linn High School and Mohawk High School, Sweet Home High School generally underperforms in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. This suggests that the challenges faced by Sweet Home High School may be unique to the school or district, rather than a broader regional issue. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.42% to 75.07% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism.
