DAYTON HIGH SCHOOL

Dayton High School is a public high school that is part of the Dayton SD 8 school district, located in Dayton, OR with about 330 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 16 teachers, Dayton High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
