Summary:
Athena, Oregon is a small city served by two public schools in the Athena-Weston School District 29RJ: Athena Elementary School, which serves grades PK–4 with 124 students, and Weston-McEwen High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 173 students, for a combined enrollment of 297. Because the city list includes no middle school and no alternative school, grades 5–8 are not represented in this data. The district as a whole is ranked 40 out of 141, in the 72nd percentile with 4 stars.
Athena Elementary School is the more consistent performer of the two. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.8% is well below the district's 27.8% and the state's 33.5%. Math proficiency across all grades is 40.8%, compared with 35.3% in the district and 32.9% statewide, and 3rd grade math reaches 48.3% against the state's 41.3%. ELA proficiency of 46.1% also tops the state's 43.8%. Its one weak spot is 4th grade math at 36.2%, below the state's 38.9%. Athena Elementary is ranked 300 out of 709, in the 58th percentile with 3 stars, and spends less per student ($22,790) with a lower student-teacher ratio (9.5) than the high school.
Weston-McEwen High School's standout result is its graduation rate of 95.2%, matching the district and 12.2 points above the state's 83.0%. Other outcomes lag: chronic absenteeism is 44.7%, more than double the elementary rate and above both district and state. Math proficiency is 21.6% versus 32.9% statewide, and science is 27.0% against the state's 33.8% 11th-grade figure. ELA is 43.2%, close to the state's 43.8% overall but below the state's 46.0% in 11th grade. The school ranks 151 out of 271, in the 44th percentile with 2 stars, down from 3 stars the prior year. Both schools serve a high-poverty population, with free/reduced lunch rates near 74%.
