Summary:
Pilot Rock High School is the only high school in Pilot Rock School District 2, serving grades 7–12 to 149 students in a small, high-resource district that ranks 109th of 141 in Oregon (23rd percentile, 1 star).
Academically, the school is a bright spot within its own district but still trails the state. In 2025–2026 OSAS all-grades results, Pilot Rock High School beat the district average in English language arts, math, and science, yet came in below state averages in all three — with math showing the largest gap at 23.7% proficient versus 32.9% statewide. Grade-level results tell a more uneven story. Eighth grade is the standout: ELA at 43.5% versus the state's 41.5%, and math at 39.1% versus 30.0%, a 9.1-point edge. Eleventh grade math is the clearest weakness, with only 10.7% proficient against 22.9% statewide. Seventh and 11th grade ELA also fall short of state (32.0% vs. 45.3% and 35.7% vs. 46.0%). Because Pilot Rock High School is the only school serving these grades in the district, its figures and the district's match exactly.
The school's graduation rate is a striking strength: 100% in 2024–2025, well above the state's 83.0%. Chronic absenteeism, however, sits at 32.4% — better than the state's 33.5% but worse than the district's 27.6%, meaning roughly one in three students is chronically absent. Per-student spending is high at $26,398 with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, and 65.77% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Ranking has swung widely, from 4 stars and the 89th percentile in 2024–2025 to 2 stars and the 30th percentile in 2025–2026 — a shift that, with only 149 students, may reflect a handful of students rather than a lasting trend.
