Summary

John F Kennedy High School is a small public high school in Mount Angel, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with 223 students as part of Mt Angel School District 91. It ranks 31st of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–26 — the 89th percentile, at 4 stars — a striking turnaround from a decade ago, when it sat near the bottom of the state.

Academics are the headline. In 2025–26, 74.4% of students met English Language Arts standards, far above the 43.8% state rate and ahead of nearby schools such as Silverton High School (57.6%), Gervais High School (43.3%) and Woodburn High School (34.5%). Math proficiency was 35%, above the state's 32.9% and most peers, though less dominant than ELA; 11th-grade math reached 35% versus 22.9% statewide. Only Early College High School, a specialized early-college model, posts higher proficiency. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 90.0%, about 7 points above the state and essentially tied with Silverton, while chronic absenteeism was 28.7% — below the 33.5% state rate and lower than Silverton, Molalla High School, North Marion High School and McKay High School.

Context matters here. About 70.4% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, well above Silverton's 50.16% and similar to Molalla and Woodburn High. Per-student spending was $21,272, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.3 — lower than Silverton's 23.3. Students from low-income families rank above average statewide (71st percentile, 4 stars), though somewhat lower than in 2022–23. Because enrollment is small, year-to-year figures can swing, and science results are not available for comparison. Even so, JFK delivers strong outcomes relative to the state and nearly all surrounding high schools.
