Nyssa School District 26

The Nyssa School District 26 in Oregon consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Nyssa Virtual School stands out with significantly higher test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%. However, the school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 56.5. Nyssa High School also performs well, ranking 39th out of 270 Oregon high schools and having strong test scores and a relatively high graduation rate.

In contrast, Nyssa Elementary School has lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may impact student learning and outcomes. Despite these challenges, the district's relatively high per-student spending, especially at the high school level, suggests efforts to support student success and address the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
