Summary:
Wallowa High School is the only high school in Wallowa School District 12, serving grades 9–12 with about 55 students in Wallowa, Oregon. Since it is the district's sole high school, the most useful comparisons are to district and state averages. The district ranks 16th of 141 Oregon districts (89th percentile, 4 stars). The school ranks 13th of 271 high schools in 2025–2026, the 95th percentile, with 5 stars. It also earned 5 stars in 2023–2024 (27th of 268, 90th percentile) and 2022–2023 (19th of 258, 93rd percentile), putting it in the top 5% of Oregon high schools in the most recent year.
Test scores exceed both district and state averages in every subject. ELA proficiency is 73.3% versus 52.7% district and 43.8% state; math is 46.7% versus 33.9% and 32.9%; science is 60.0% versus 35.9% and 30.6%. Math is the school's lowest subject, but it is still 12.8 points above the district and more than double the state's 11th-grade math figure of 22.9%. The graduation rate is 90.0%, matching the district and 7 points above the state's 83.0%. All-grade and 11th-grade scores are identical at the school, consistent with OSAS testing concentrated in grade 11; the district's all-grade scores are lower because they include earlier grades.
Chronic absenteeism is the one area where the school trails its district: 32.7% at the school, 26.2% district and 33.5% state — slightly better than the state, but 6.5 points worse than the district. The school spends $22,005 per student with a 9.1 student-teacher ratio, roughly 6 teachers for 55 students and about $1.21 million in total spending. With so few students, each one represents about 1.8 percentage points of the school, so small changes can shift results noticeably. The reported free/reduced lunch figure of 161.82 is not interpretable as a valid percentage or count and should be treated as a data anomaly.
