Summary

Gaston Junior/Senior High School is a small public school in Gaston, Oregon, serving 246 students in grades 7–12 as part of Gaston School District 511J. The district ranks 51st of 141 Oregon districts (64th percentile, 3 stars), but the school's 2025–2026 state rank is 181st of 271 high schools — the 33rd percentile, 2 stars — which places it below its district's overall standing. Rank history shows a long decline followed by a partial rebound: near the 63rd–64th percentile in 2014–2015, down to the 25th–28th percentile from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024, up to the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025, then back to 33rd.

Academically, results split by grade level. All-grade English language arts (49.4%) and science (33.9%) are above state levels, while all-grade math (22.6%) is below both district and state. Because Gaston serves grades 7–8 while most nearby schools are 9–12, 11th-grade scores give the fairest high school comparison: 11th-grade ELA is 32.0% against the state's 46.0%, and 11th-grade math is 12.5% against 22.9%. Science is comparatively stronger at 34.5%, above the state's 33.8% and above Newberg Senior High School (33.3%), Forest Grove High School (29.6%), and Century High School (28.9%), though below Banks High School (60.0%).

Graduation is a clear strength: 95.3% in 2024–2025, 12.3 points above the state and second only to Banks (98.1%) among nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is the sharpest concern at 47.6%, versus 33.5% statewide and 38.4% in the district — higher than most nearby traditional schools except Aloha High School (48.7%). Free/reduced lunch climbed from 38.37% to 61.79% in two years, important context for interpreting these results. The school spends $20,178 per student with a 14.6 student-teacher ratio, favorable compared with many nearby schools. In subgroup effectiveness, female students ranked at the 56th percentile in 2024–2025, while male students ranked in the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026.
