Of 287 public and charter schools in Oregon, NeahKah-Nie High ranks 17th of best high schools in recent survey.
Pirate Pride: high school ranked among best in state By Dave Fisher The North Coast Citizen Of the 287 public and charter high schools in Oregon, Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway Beach has been ranked 17th – and No. 1,607 among 19,400 high schools nationally – in a recently published US News and World Report survey. Neah-Kah-Nie School District Supt. Paul Erlebach recently broke the good news to the high school staff and district employees, congratulating them on the high ranking. “Great job, staff, from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade,” said Erlebach in his email. The survey ranked the schools in four areas: student/ teacher ratio, college readi-
ness, and average math and reading proficiencies. Neah-Kah-Nie High’s 12:1 student/teacher ratio is among the lowest in Oregon. The statewide average is 21:1. The school was above the Oregon average in college readiness based on the percentage of 12th-graders who were tested and passed Advanced Placement exams. In reading proficiency, the school placed above the state average. In math, it was near the state average based on the performance of the subjects on the state exit exam.
