Summary

Vale High School is a public high school in Vale, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 293 students, and it is the high school of Vale School District 84. The school ranks 12th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 — the 96th percentile — with a 5-star rating, a major shift from 2018–2019, when it ranked 111th of 266. That top-decile position has held for several years, including 10th of 268 in 2023–2024.

Results are strong across subjects. In 2025–2026 OSAS, 79.7% met the ELA standard, 43.5% in math, and 59.7% in science, compared with state 11th-grade rates of 46%, 22.9%, and 33.8%. Nearby schools trail in every subject: Adrian High School (58.3%/25%/26.7%), Nyssa High School (45.6%/16.2%/30.4%), and Ontario High School (27.7%/under 5%/19.3%). Graduation was 98.4% in 2024–2025 (state 83.0%), second only to Adrian's 100% at a much smaller school. Chronic absenteeism fell from 54.8% in 2021–2022 to 11.1% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 33.5% and the lowest among nearby schools.

Subgroup results stand out: Vale ranks 1st of 152 in Oregon for low-income students (99th percentile) in 2025–2026, despite a 90.44% free/reduced-lunch rate, and 5th of 134 for Hispanic students. Special education ranked 47th of 94 (50th percentile) in 2024–2025, the one less exceptional reported result. Vale spends $23,523 per student with a 15:1 student-teacher ratio — less than Adrian's $33,261 and 9:1 — yet posts much stronger outcomes, suggesting effective use of resources. Nyssa, similar in size at 335 students, ranks 155th of 271.
