Summary

Paisley School is an alternative public school serving grades K–12 in the small rural community of Paisley, Oregon, with 222 students at 260 Green St and part of Paisley School District 11; no other schools are within 20 miles, so the most meaningful comparisons are with Oregon state averages.

Academically, Paisley looks strong. On the 2025–2026 state tests, all-grade proficiency was above Oregon in English language arts (60.6% vs. 43.8%), mathematics (51.4% vs. 32.9%), and science (56.7% vs. 30.6%). Eleventh-grade results were especially high: 83.3% in ELA, 66.7% in science, and 41.7% in math, all well above the state. The only reported grade-level subject below Oregon was 5th-grade ELA (40.0% vs. 47.1%). Some grade-level results are suppressed by the state, which means they are unknown rather than zero. Attendance is another clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 13.2% in 2024–2025, far below Oregon’s 33.5%, and the five-year average is about 9.2% at Paisley versus about 34.0% statewide. The district’s reported numbers mirror the school’s, so it does not provide a separate benchmark.

The main concern is graduation. Paisley’s graduation rate has been below Oregon for three recent years: 63.6% in 2024–2025, 60.0% in 2023–2024, and 66.7% in 2022–2023, compared with Oregon’s 83.0%, 81.8%, and 81.3%. The recent three-year average is about 63.4% versus about 82.0% statewide. That contrasts with the school’s high test proficiency and low absenteeism; because Paisley is an alternative K–12 school, it may serve students with nontraditional pathways or credit-recovery needs, but the data cannot explain the gap, and the test and graduation years differ. On resources, per-student spending was $18,135 in 2024–2025 after peaking at $22,694 in 2023–2024 (a drop of about 20.1%). The student-teacher ratio rose from 28.1 to 41.6 over two years, about a 48% increase, which may signal staffing pressure or a change in counting. No state spending or ratio benchmark is provided, and free/reduced lunch data are blank, so economic disadvantage cannot be assessed.
