Summary:
Astoria, Oregon has six schools serving about 2,166 students: three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. They are split between Astoria School District 1 (four schools, roughly 80% of enrollment) and Knappa School District 4 (two schools, about 20%). Astoria School District 1 ranks 81 of 141 districts (43rd percentile), while Knappa School District 4 ranks 128 of 141 (9th percentile). All six schools are high-poverty by free/reduced lunch, which ranges from 61.83% at Knappa High School to 70.76% at Astor Elementary School.
The clearest positive standout is Astoria Senior High School, with a 94.6% graduation rate against the state's 83.0% — though its 11th-grade test scores trail the state and its chronic absenteeism (37.2%) is above the state's 33.5%. The sharpest contrast comes from Knappa High School, which spends the most per student ($25,146) and has the smallest classes (11.9 students per teacher) yet posts the lowest graduation rate (70.3%), the highest absenteeism (49.6%), and 11th-grade math under 5%. Astor Elementary School stands out differently: lowest absenteeism (25.2%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (13.6), but no test scores because it serves K–2.
Math is the weakest subject across the list; every school with all-grade math data falls below the state's 32.9%, from Lewis & Clark Elementary School at 28.4% down to Knappa High School at under 5%. Science is uneven — Lewis & Clark Elementary School is the only school clearly above the state all-grade figure (34.1% vs. 30.6%), while Hilda Lahti Elementary School (12.3%) and Knappa High School (13.6%) lag badly. Absenteeism is mostly a high-school issue: four of six schools beat the state rate, but both high schools exceed it. Rank trends shift too, with Astoria Middle School improving from the 29th percentile in 2023–2024 to 46th in 2025–2026.
