Pilot Rock School District 2

Pilot Rock School District 2 is a small rural Oregon district serving 285 students across just two schools: Pilot Rock Elementary School for grades K–6 and Pilot Rock High School for grades 7–12, with no middle school or alternative school. The district ranks 109th of 141 Oregon districts — the 23rd percentile, 1 star — and sits below the state in all-grade ELA (34.6% vs 43.8%), math (19.4% vs 32.9%), and science (24.3% vs 30.6%).

Pilot Rock High School is the stronger of the two academically, outperforming the district average in ELA (36.8%), math (23.7%), and science (28.8%), though it still trails the state in ELA and math. Its standout metric is a 100% graduation rate for 2024–2025 versus 83% statewide, even as 11th-grade math proficiency sits at only 10.7% against 22.9% statewide. Grades 7–8 are a bright spot: 8th-grade ELA is 43.5% vs 41.5% state, and 8th-grade math is 39.1% vs 30.0%. Rankings swing dramatically, from 29th of 270 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 to 190th of 271 (30th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. It spends $26,398 per student with a 10.6 student-teacher ratio.

Pilot Rock Elementary School is the district's clearest academic weak point, with all-grade ELA at 32.5%, math at 15.2%, and science at 13.6%. Grade-level results are especially low in 4th-grade ELA (17.6% vs 43.5% state), 5th-grade math (10.0% vs 32.4%), and 5th-grade science (13.6% vs 30.8%). Its bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 22.3% beats the district's 27.6% and the state's 33.5%. It enrolls 136 students with 72.79% free/reduced lunch, spends $19,201 per student, and has a 13.6 student-teacher ratio. With such small enrollment, year-to-year percentages can shift sharply, so single-year results should be read with caution.
