Summary

North Marion High School is a public school serving about 564 students in grades 9–12 in Aurora, OR, a small Willamette Valley community near Woodburn, and it is part of North Marion School District 15.

For families comparing local options, the latest data show a school in a long-term decline. In 2025–26, it ranks 246th of 271 Oregon high schools—the 9th percentile—with 0 stars, down from 3 stars and the 59th–64th percentile in the mid-2010s. Its 2024–25 graduation rate is 73.9%, below the state’s 83.0%, and its 2025–26 11th-grade proficiency rates are 27.2% in English language arts, 6.8% in math, and 14.2% in science, compared with state rates of 46.0%, 22.9%, and 33.8%. Nearby comprehensive high schools generally have stronger outcomes: John F Kennedy High School has a 90.0% graduation rate and 35.0% math proficiency, Wilsonville High School has 95.9% and 34.3%, and Canby High School has 90.8% and 27.3%. Even Woodburn High School, in the lower-ranked Woodburn School District 103, has a higher graduation rate (84.3%) and ELA proficiency (34.5%). Gervais High School, with 99.38% free/reduced lunch, still has an 89.2% graduation rate and 16.7% math proficiency. The school spends $20,794 per student with a 16.4:1 student–teacher ratio, so funding and class size alone do not explain the gap.

Chronic absenteeism is 37.0%, above the state’s 33.5%, though it has improved from 49.5% in 2021–22. A relative bright spot is special education students, who ranked 37th of 93 (60th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, but other subgroup results are low: male students were in the 3rd percentile in 2025–26, English language learner students in the 6th percentile in 2024–25, and low-income students in the 35th percentile. The school does outperform alternative or continuation settings such as Woodburn Success and William P Lord High School on many measures, but among standard comprehensive high schools it is at or near the bottom. The clearest priorities are math instruction, graduation supports, and targeted help for male, English language learner, and low-income students, while building on improving attendance and the special education results.
