Summary:
Scio, Oregon has exactly one high school: Scio High School, a comprehensive grades 9–12 campus at 38880 N Main with 227 students, and the only high school in Scio School District 95. Because there is just one school, the meaningful comparisons are against its own district, the state of Oregon, and its own history.
Science is the clearest academic strength: 36.2% of students were proficient, above both the district (34.0%) and the state (30.6%). English language arts sits right at the state level (44.7% at Scio vs. 43.8% statewide). Math is the weakest subject at 23.9% proficient — fewer than one in four students — and it looks far below Oregon's all-grades figure of 32.9%. However, Oregon's own 11th-grade math rate is 22.9%, so against the grade-for-grade state number Scio is slightly ahead. One caution for parents: the school's "all grades" and "11th grade" results are identical in every subject, because OSAS testing happens in grade 11 at a 9–12 school. Against the district's grade-11 results, the district actually outperforms Scio in all three subjects, so claims that Scio beats its district depend on which benchmark is used.
The school's standout outcome is its graduation rate: 89.5%, compared with 79.3% for the district and 83.0% for the state. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism, which affects 42.3% of students — more than two in five — well above the state's 33.5%, though essentially matching the district's 42.7%, suggesting a district-wide pattern. About 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $16,479 with a 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio. Ranking history is volatile — 4 stars, then 1 star, then 3 — and with roughly 55 students per grade, a few students can swing results noticeably.
