Summary:
There is one high school in Willamina School District 30J in Willamina, Oregon: Willamina High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 274 students. Because it is the district’s only high school, its results effectively represent the district’s high-school performance.
For parents, the academic picture is challenging. In 2025–2026, Willamina High School ranked 256 out of 271 Oregon high schools, in the bottom 6%, with a 0-star rating. The prior two years were also low: 269 out of 270 in 2024–2025 and 234 out of 268 in 2023–2024. On OSAS tests, proficiency was 26.5% in English language arts, 8.2% in mathematics, and 5.6% in science; the school’s “All Grades” results match its 11th-grade results, while district “All Grades” results are higher in every subject. Chronic absenteeism is 60.3%, compared with 47.0% in the district and 33.5% statewide. The reported free/reduced lunch value of 167.88 is anomalous and should not be read as a normal percentage.
The clearest bright spot is graduation: 83.1% at the school, same as the district and essentially equal to Oregon’s 83.0%. Other figures include per-student spending of $21,889 in 2024–2025, implying about $6.0 million total for 274 students, and a student-teacher ratio of 25.5, or roughly 10.7 teachers. With small cohorts, a few students can shift percentages, so year-to-year changes should be interpreted with caution. Overall, the school combines a state-average graduation rate with severe absenteeism and very low math and science proficiency.
