Summary

Hermiston High School is a large public high school in Hermiston, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 1,705 students in a community with very high reported economic need. It is part of Hermiston School District 8, which ranks 55th of 141 Oregon districts (61st percentile, 3 stars). The school ranked 167th of 271 high schools in 2025–2026 (38th percentile, 2 stars), down from 88th of 270 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. It is much larger than nearby secondary schools: the four comparison schools enroll 264 to 520 students each, while Hermiston’s 1,705 exceed their combined enrollment. Reported economic need is very high: 91.79% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up sharply from 68.44% the prior year and 48.3% in 2022–2023, a jump that likely reflects reporting changes but still signals substantial disadvantage.

In 2025–2026, 11th-grade English Language Arts was essentially at the state average: 45.6% versus 46.0% statewide. Math was below the state at 16.5% versus 22.9%, but it was the highest among nearby high schools. Science was weaker at 25.8% versus 33.8%, trailing Riverside Junior/Senior High School, Irrigon Junior/Senior High School, and Stanfield Secondary School. The graduation rate improved to 85.0% in 2024–2025—above Oregon’s 83.0% and up from 80.1% and 78.3%—but remains below every nearby school, including Umatilla High School at 87.0%. Chronic absenteeism is the standout red flag: 44.2%, the highest among nearby schools and about 10.7 points above the state’s 33.5%.

Spending is high at $21,165 per student, the most among nearby schools, but the student-teacher ratio is 19.8, second highest in that group. Subgroup results were uneven in 2025–2026: migrant students were a bright spot at the 73rd percentile (4 stars), while low-income students were at the 48th percentile and female and male students ranked below the school overall. Many subgroups were stronger in 2024–2025, so the latest year shows a broad decline. Overall, Hermiston is a large, high-poverty school with near-state ELA, weaker math and science, improving graduation, and serious absenteeism; it outperforms Umatilla High School and edges Stanfield Secondary School overall but trails Riverside Junior/Senior High School and Irrigon Junior/Senior High School while serving a much larger, higher-need population.
