Summary:

The city of Athena, Oregon is home to a single public high school, Weston-McEwen High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 208 students. The school is part of the Athena-Weston School District 29RJ, which is ranked 38 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Weston-McEwen High School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 119 out of 270 Oregon high schools (3 stars) in 2024-2025 to 161 out of 268 (2 stars) in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, has shown mixed results, with some scores on par with the district average but generally higher than the state average in 2024-2025, while lower than both the district and state averages in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may be impacting student learning and overall school performance.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $23,632 per student in the 2022-2023 school year, Weston-McEwen High School's 4-year graduation rate was 81.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is an area of concern. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12:1 in the 2023-2024 school year is also noteworthy, as it may contribute to the school's academic performance and overall student experience.
