Mt Angel School District 91

Mt Angel School District 91 is a small district in the Willamette Valley town of Mt Angel, Marion County, Oregon, serving 684 students across three schools: one elementary school (grades K–5), one middle school (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12), with no alternative school in the district.

District-wide, the schools rank 22nd out of 141 Oregon districts — the 84th percentile with 4 stars — but that strong rating hides a big gap between the elementary school and the two secondary schools. John F Kennedy High School is the district's strongest performer, ranking in the 89th percentile with 4 stars, with 74.4% of students proficient in English language arts (compared with 43.8% statewide) and a 90.0% graduation rate (compared with 83.0% statewide). Math is above state but less dominant at 35.0%. Mt Angel Middle School is the district's most improved school, climbing from the 58th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 80th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, with 64.7% proficiency in ELA and 39.1% in math. It also has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 18.5%, well below the district's 26.6% and the state's 33.5%.

St Marys Public School is the district's clearest area of concern, ranking in the 22nd percentile with 1 star after sitting in the 48th percentile the prior year. Its ELA and math proficiency are both 29.8%, below state (43.8% and 32.9%) and below district levels, and its science score of 8.3% is far under the state's 30.6%. Grade-level results are weakest in 5th grade math (20.8%) and 5th grade science (8.3%). All three schools serve similar populations — free/reduced lunch is about 70% at each — and per-student spending is highest at the high school ($21,272) and lower at the elementary school ($17,645), where the student-teacher ratio is also highest at 18.3.
