Summary:
Adrian School District 61 is a small Oregon district serving about 293 students in two schools: Adrian Elementary School, a K–8 school with 210 students, and Adrian High School, serving grades 9–12 with 83 students. Adrian School District 61 is rated 5 stars and ranks 6th of 141 districts statewide, in the 96th percentile. Note that test scores come from 2025–2026, while graduation, absenteeism, lunch, spending, and staffing figures are from 2024–2025.
Adrian Elementary School is the clear standout: 5 stars, ranked 13th of 709 schools, in the 98th percentile. It has held 5 stars and 96th percentile or better for three years. Every reported grade-level ELA, math, and science score is above the state average, with especially large gaps in 5th grade math (93.8% vs 32.4%), 8th grade ELA (94.4% vs 41.5%), and 5th grade science (72.2% vs 30.8%). Its weakest results are in middle grades — 6th math 51.5%, 8th math 50%, 8th science 40.9% — still above state. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.4%, versus the state's 33.5%, even though 76.67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Adrian High School is more mixed: 3 stars, ranked 113th of 271, in the 58th percentile, down from 4 stars and the 85th percentile in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is 100%, well above the state's 83%, and 11th grade ELA is 58.3% versus the state's 46%. Math is only slightly above state at 25% vs 22.9%, and science falls below state at 26.7% vs 33.8%. Absenteeism is 21.8% — better than the state but more than double the elementary school's rate. The high school also spends far more per student ($33,261 vs $20,994) with much smaller classes (9.0 vs 16.8 students per teacher), yet its test results are not correspondingly higher, and its small cohorts can swing year to year.
