Summary:
Morrow School District 1 serves 2,234 students across nine schools in Boardman, Irrigon, and Heppner, Oregon, and ranks 74 of 141 districts statewide (48th percentile, 2 stars). The district includes three K–6 elementary schools, two 4–6 middle schools, three combined 7–12 junior/senior high schools, and one K–12 alternative school. Enrollment ranges from 62 students at Morrow Education Center to 520 at Riverside Junior/Senior High School.
Heppner Junior/Senior High School is the clear academic standout: 43 of 271 schools (84th percentile, 4 stars), with all-grade ELA at 65.9%, science at 53.1%, a 100% graduation rate, and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 22.5%. Heppner Elementary School (65th percentile, 3 stars) is the only district school above state averages in all three subjects — ELA 47.7%, math 41.1%, science 43.5%. Irrigon Junior/Senior High School is improving, climbing from the 15th to the 26th to the 49th percentile.
Elsewhere, results are weaker and less even. Math and science trail state averages district-wide (23.5% and 22.1%). Windy River Elementary School posts just 5.2% science, while Morrow Education Center has chronic absenteeism of 75.4% and science under 5%. Sam Boardman Elementary School (20.5%) and A C Houghton Elementary School (26.9%) lag in ELA. Graduation rates are strong at comprehensive high schools — 100% at Riverside and Heppner Junior/Senior High, 95.7% at Irrigon — though district absenteeism (35.4%) exceeds the state's 33.5%. Per-student spending spans $18,277 to $28,115. Some figures are suppressed or reported as "under 5%" and should be read as less than that amount, not as zero.
