Summary

Weston-McEwen High School is a small public high school in Athena, Oregon — a rural community in the eastern part of the state — serving grades 9–12 with 173 students as part of the Athena-Weston School District 29RJ. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 151st of 271 Oregon high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranks 40th of 141 districts statewide (72nd percentile, 4 stars). The school's results have moved around over time: 4 stars in 2021–2022, 3 stars in 2022–2023 and 2024–2025, and 2 stars in 2023–2024 and 2025–2026.

Graduation is a clear strength. The rate reached 95.2% in 2024–2025, well above Oregon's 83.0% and close to McLoughlin High School's 97.0%, and it has climbed steadily from 83.3% in 2020–2021. Among nearby high schools, Weston-McEwen also leads in 11th-grade ELA proficiency (43.2%) and math (21.6%), though its ELA figure remains below the state's 46.0%. The school is comparatively well resourced: per-student spending of $25,468 is the highest among nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is far lower than Pendleton High School's 19.7.

The biggest challenges are attendance and science. Chronic absenteeism was 44.7% in 2024–2025, above Oregon's 33.5% and the district's 27.8%, though better than McLoughlin, Nixyaawii Community School (56.4%), and Hawthorne Alternative High School (94.2%). Science proficiency was 27.0%, below the state's 33.8% and far below Pendleton's 45.3%. Because the school is small, single-year results — such as the free/reduced-lunch share rising from 44.23% to 74.57% in one year — can swing widely and are best read with caution.
