Summary:
ZIP code 97101 in Amity, Oregon is home to exactly one high school: Amity High School, a grades 9–12 campus serving 258 students and belonging to Amity School District 4J. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make; the most useful context comes from how the school compares with its district and with Oregon statewide averages.
Amity High's strongest results are in completion and attendance. Its 90.6% graduation rate is above both the district's 89.2% and Oregon's 83.0%, and chronic absenteeism at 26.8% is lower than the state's 33.5%, though slightly above the district's 25.6%. English language arts is the academic bright spot: 39.3% of students were proficient, essentially matching the district and trailing the state's 46.0% by 6.7 percentage points. In rankings, the school improved from 0 stars (4th percentile) in 2024–2025 to 1 star (21st percentile, 213 out of 271 Oregon high schools) in 2025–2026 — meaningful progress, but still below its 2023–2024 result of 2 stars and the 40th percentile.
Math and science are the clear concerns. Only 13.3% of students met the math standard, compared with 22.9% statewide, and 15.2% met the science standard, compared with 33.8% statewide — an 18.6-point gap that makes science the weakest subject relative to the state. Notably, the district's all-grade averages (30.3% in math, 27.3% in science) are much higher than its 11th-grade results, which suggests younger grades are lifting those averages while high school results lag. With 64.34% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and per-student spending of $20,847, families may want to ask how resources are directed toward math and science instruction, and how a small graduating class of roughly 65 students can make year-to-year results swing.
