Summary:
Amity, Oregon is a small city with just four schools serving 1,065 students across grades K–12, split between Amity School District 4J (three schools) and Perrydale School District 21 (one K–12 campus), so families here choose between a traditional grade-by-grade pathway and a single-school option. Test data are 2025–2026 OSAS proficiency; graduation, attendance, spending, and staffing data are 2024–2025.
Perrydale School stands out for high-end outcomes: a 100.0% graduation rate versus Oregon's 83.0%, the city's highest all-grades ELA proficiency (49.4% vs. 43.8% state) and science (44.4% vs. 30.6%), and the lowest chronic absenteeism (22.7% vs. 33.5%). Its 11th grade results are strong (ELA 75%, math 37.5%, science 65.4%), but all-grades math is 24.4% against the state's 32.9%, with 3rd grade math reported as under 5%. Amity Elementary School is the clearest improver, climbing from 20th percentile with 1 star to 55th percentile with 3 stars over three years, and it beats the state in math (41.7%) and science (34.8%).
Amity High School shows a graduation/test-score gap: 90.6% graduation, above state, but math at 13.3% and science at 15.2%, both well below state. Amity Middle School has the city's lowest student-teacher ratio (13.6) and its highest chronic absenteeism (27.8%), though still under the state's 33.5%. Math is the city-wide weak spot — about 26.7% weighted, versus 32.9% statewide — while every Amity school sits below the state's chronic absenteeism rate and spending runs from $17,622 to $20,847 per student.
