Woodburn High School

Woodburn High School is a 9–12 public high school serving 1,606 students at 1785 N Front St in Woodburn, Oregon, a Willamette Valley farming community about 30 miles south of Portland, and it is the largest campus in Woodburn School District 103. The school ranks 216th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025-26 (20th percentile, 1 star) — its fourth straight 1-star year — but that still places it far above its own district, which ranks 139th of 141 (1st percentile). For comparison, Wilsonville High School sits at the 75th percentile and Silverton High School at the 77th.

Graduation is the bright spot. Woodburn's 84.3% four-year rate for 2024-25 is slightly above Oregon's 83.0% and well above the district's 77.6%, though the margin over the state has narrowed from +6.4 points a year earlier. Test proficiency runs the other way: 34.5% of 11th graders meet the ELA standard (state: 43.8%) and 19% meet science (state: 30.6%). Math is the sharpest gap — under 5% proficient versus the state's 22.9% — and every nearby comprehensive high school clears that bar, including North Marion High School (6.8%) and even high-poverty Gervais High School (16.7%).

Chronic absenteeism is 40.5%, higher than both the state (33.5%) and the district (36.7%), though it has improved two years running. Spending is high and rising at $21,067 per student — more than Wilsonville or Silverton spend — while class size has shrunk from a 25.0 to a 20.1 student-teacher ratio in two years. The biggest concerns show up in smaller groups: students in special education, students experiencing homelessness, migrant students, and low-income students all rank in the bottom portion of the state distribution, and gifted and talented students land between the 4th and 20th percentile. The most actionable priorities in the data are 11th-grade math, chronic absenteeism, and those subgroup gaps.
