Summary
Adrian High School is a very small public high school in rural Adrian, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 83 students as part of Adrian School District 61.
The school sits inside one of Oregon's strongest districts: Adrian School District 61 ranks 6th of 141 districts statewide, in the 96th percentile with 5 stars, yet the high school ranks 113th of 271 in 2025–2026, placing it in the 58th percentile with 3 stars. That gap is the headline. Adrian High was in the top 10% statewide in 2017–2018 and still strong in 2021–2022, but slipped to the 58th percentile in each of the last two years. Graduation rates are a clear strength — 100% in 2024–2025, and no year below 93.8% over the past five — well above Oregon's 80.6%–83.0% range. Chronic absenteeism fell sharply, from 52.6% in 2022–2023 to 21.8% in 2024–2025, better than the state's 33.5% but still above the district's 12.9%.
Compared with nearby Vale High School and Nyssa High School, Adrian's 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency of 58.3% is above the state's 46.0% and Nyssa's 45.6%, but 21.4 points below Vale. Math, at 25.0%, is slightly above the state and above Nyssa, but below Vale. Science, at 26.7%, trails the state's 33.8%, Nyssa's 30.4%, and Vale by a wide margin — the school's clearest academic weakness. Adrian spends $33,261 per student with a 9:1 student–teacher ratio, well beyond Vale's $23,523 and Nyssa's $20,490, though small rural schools often carry higher fixed costs. One standout bright spot: Adrian's low-income students ranked in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025, higher than the school's overall standing.
