Summary:
High schools in McMinnville School District 40 come down to a single public high school serving grades 9–12: McMinnville High School, which enrolls 2,228 students at 615 NE 15th St in McMinnville, Oregon. Because it is the only high school in this area, families have one clear option, and the district as a whole ranks 31st of 141 districts in Oregon, placing it in the 78th percentile with 4 stars.
The school's strengths are notable. McMinnville High School ranked 72 of 271 schools in 2025–2026, in the 73rd percentile with 4 stars, up from 92 of 270 (66th percentile, 3 stars) the prior year. Its graduation rate of 88.1% beats Oregon's 83.0%. English Language Arts proficiency is 53%, above the district's 48.4% and the state's 43.8%, and Science is 40.3%, above the district's 35.5% and the state's 30.6%. Eleventh-grade math stands at 34.5% versus the state's 22.9%.
The main concerns are attendance and math. Chronic absenteeism is 40.6% — more than 4 in 10 students — compared with 29.9% in the district and 33.5% statewide. All-grade math proficiency is 34.5%, below the district's 39.8% and only slightly above the state's 32.9%, leaving an 18.5-point gap between ELA and math. These results come in context: 78.1% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,531, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.1:1. Overall, this is a 4-star, top-quartile school with above-state graduation and ELA/Science results, but attendance and math remain the areas to watch.
