Tillamook High School

Tillamook High School is a grades 9–12 comprehensive high school in Tillamook, Oregon, serving 729 students in Tillamook School District 9, and it is by far the largest high school among its nearby peers — Neah-Kah-Nie High School has 244 students, Nestucca High School has 162, and Trask River High School has just 15.

Academically, Tillamook is one of the stronger high schools in Oregon. It ranked 45th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars, up from 1 star and the 20th percentile in 2021–2022, and it has held 4 stars for three straight years. Eleventh-grade ELA proficiency of 65.2% and science proficiency of 53.6% are the school's anchors, each about 19 points above the state's 11th-grade rates, and its science results lead Neah-Kah-Nie's and Nestucca's. Math is the internal gap: 30.0% is above the state rate and well above Nestucca's, but far below Tillamook's own ELA and science results and 11.5 points behind Neah-Kah-Nie's.

Graduation is 82.3%, close to the state average but below Neah-Kah-Nie and far below Nestucca's 97.1% — though Nestucca's high graduation rate comes with much lower test proficiency. Chronic absenteeism of 44.2% is the clearest concern: the highest among comprehensive high schools with reported data and 10.7 points above the state rate. Tillamook spends $17,483 per student — roughly 42% less than Neah-Kah-Nie and 47% less than Nestucca — with a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.5, yet earns a comparable or better statewide rank, suggesting strong returns on its resources. The school is especially effective with Hispanic and low-income students, who rank near the top of the state distribution, while special education students rank around the lower-middle (41st percentile, 2 stars) — the clearest equity gap. Trask River High School is a 15-student alternative setting with suppressed school scores and is not directly comparable.
