Summary:
Adrian, Oregon is home to two schools — Adrian Elementary School, serving grades K–8 with 210 students, and Adrian High School, serving grades 9–12 with 83 students — both part of Adrian School District 61, a small rural district with 293 students total that ranks #6 of 141 Oregon districts, in the 96th percentile with 5 stars. There is no standalone middle school or alternative school in the area.
Adrian Elementary School is the standout and the main reason the district ranks so highly. It is ranked #13 of 709 elementary schools statewide, in the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and has held 5 stars for three years running. Its all-grade proficiency is far above the state: 85.5% in ELA versus 43.8% statewide, 67.2% in math versus 32.9%, and 55% in science versus 30.6%. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.4%, compared with 33.5% statewide and 12.9% district-wide. Notably, 76.67% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, so these results come from a high-poverty population. It spends $20,994 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 16.8.
Adrian High School is smaller and more mixed, ranked #113 of 271 high schools — 58th percentile with 3 stars — down from #40 of 268 and 4 stars in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is a clear bright spot at 100.0%, well above the state's 83.0%, and 11th-grade ELA (58.3% vs 46%) and math (25% vs 22.9%) edge out state averages, though science (26.7% vs 33.8%) falls below. Chronic absenteeism is 21.8%, more than double the elementary school's rate and above the district's 12.9%, but still below the state. It spends far more per student, $33,261, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.0 — likely reflecting the fixed costs of a very small high school.
