Summary:
The Adrian School District 61 in Oregon consists of two schools: Adrian Elementary School and Adrian High School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school's results are more mixed.
Adrian Elementary School is ranked 31st out of 706 elementary schools in Oregon and has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years. Its students demonstrate very high proficiency rates across core subjects, well above state averages. In contrast, Adrian High School's performance has fluctuated, with its statewide ranking ranging from 40th out of 268 schools in 2023-2024 to 114th out of 270 schools in 2024-2025. While the high school's 11th grade ELA proficiency rate is close to the state average, its Math proficiency rate lags behind.
Interestingly, the per-student spending is significantly higher at the high school ($34,167) compared to the elementary school ($22,955), which may suggest the district is allocating more resources to the high school. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (54.97%) than the high school (40.91%), pointing to potential socioeconomic differences between the student populations. Both schools also face high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an obstacle to student learning and achievement.
