Summary

Nyssa High School is a public high school in Nyssa, Oregon, serving 345 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Nyssa School District 26, which is ranked 19 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Nyssa High School consistently performs above the state average in academic proficiency, with 70% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, 34.3% in Math, and 40.8% in Science, compared to the state averages of 44.4%, 20.3%, and 32.6%, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, particularly female, Hispanic, and white students, as well as migrant students. For example, Nyssa High School ranked 18th out of 211 Oregon high schools for female students, 19th out of 138 for Hispanic students, and 6th out of 250 for white students in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Nyssa High School performs significantly better than the nearby Ontario High School, its performance is not as strong as the nearby Vale High School, which consistently ranks among the top 10% of Oregon high schools. The smaller Adrian High School, located just 9.71 miles from Nyssa, also performs well, with strong proficiency rates and a high state ranking. Despite having a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Nyssa High School has been able to maintain strong academic performance, which may be attributed to its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio.
