Summary

Stayton High School is a public 9–12 school in Stayton, Oregon, serving 669 students as part of North Santiam School District 29J. Its latest statewide rank is 157th of 271 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026, down from the 68th percentile (3 stars) in 2023–2024 and the 48th percentile in 2024–2025. The district ranks 77th of 141 in Oregon. By enrollment, Stayton is mid-sized locally — larger than Scio High School (227), Jefferson High School (245), and Roberts High School (515), but smaller than Cascade Senior High School (795), Silverton High School (1,262), and large Salem-Keizer schools such as North Salem High School (2,107) and McKay High School (2,380).

The clearest bright spot is graduation: Stayton's rate was 97.2% in 2024–2025, 13.5 points above its district and 14.2 points above the state, and the highest among nearby high schools — ahead of Cascade Senior (94.7%), Silverton (90.1%), Scio (89.5%), South Salem High School (86.7%), Jefferson (84.5%), McKay (83.1%), North Salem (81.8%), Cascade Opportunity Center (53.7%), and Roberts (17.1%). Class sizes are also relatively favorable: a student-teacher ratio of 17.1 in 2024–2025 is the third-lowest nearby, and per-student spending was $19,006, mid-range among neighbors.

Academics and attendance are mixed. At 11th grade in 2025–2026, Stayton was below the state in English language arts (36.1% vs. 46.0%) and math (20.0% vs. 22.9%), while science matched the state at 33.8%; it trailed Cascade Senior, Silverton, and Scio in ELA and math but outperformed several Salem-Keizer schools. Chronic absenteeism was 37.4% in 2024–2025, above the state's 33.5% but better than most nearby schools, though Cascade Senior's 18.5% is far lower. Free/reduced lunch rose from 53.08% in 2022–2023 to 82.66% in 2024–2025. The biggest concern is subgroup performance: low-income students ranked in the 7th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, down from the 75th percentile in 2023–2024, with special education students at the 27th percentile.
