Summary:
There is one public high school in Ashland School District 5: Ashland High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 877 students at 201 S Mountain Ave in Ashland, Oregon. The district is one of the strongest in the state, ranked 4th out of 141 Oregon districts — the 97th percentile — with a 5-star district rating. Because this is the district's only high school, the district's high school figures reflect this single school.
Academically, the school performs well above Oregon averages. English language arts proficiency is 62.7% versus 43.8% statewide, and science is 48.1% versus 30.6%. Math is 40.4%, still above the state's 32.9%, and at 11th grade it far outpaces the state's 22.9%. The graduation rate is 87.2%, above the state's 83.0%. Statewide ranking has been consistently strong: 41st of 268 schools in 2023–2024 (85th percentile, 4 stars), 22nd of 270 in 2024–2025 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), and 36th of 271 in 2025–2026 (87th percentile, 4 stars). Note that the school's all-grade scores match its 11th-grade scores exactly, so its overall results are effectively its 11th-grade results. The district's higher all-grade averages in ELA (67.5%) and math (53.5%) come from other grade levels, not from the high school outperforming itself.
Two areas are worth watching. Math, while above state average, is well below the school's ELA and science results and sits 13.1 points under the district's all-grade math average. Chronic absenteeism is 36.3% — higher than the district's 29.5% and the state's 33.5% — meaning more than one in three students misses enough school to be flagged. For context, 64.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $23,333, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.2. Overall, this is a high-performing school with targeted challenges in math and student engagement.
