High Schools in North Marion School District 15

North Marion School District 15 in Oregon has only one high school, North Marion High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools over the past three years, with a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, North Marion High School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all falling well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for 11th graders was 39.3%, compared to the state average of 44.4%, while the math proficiency rate was only 7.5%, much lower than the state average of 20.3%. The school's science proficiency rate for 11th graders was also significantly lower than the state average, at 12.3% compared to 32.6%.

Despite the North Marion School District 15 spending $19,487 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges and should be considered in any improvement efforts.
