Summary:
ZIP code 97325, which covers Aumsville, Oregon, has exactly one public high school: Cascade Opportunity Center, serving grades 9–12 with 83 students as part of Cascade School District 5. Because there is only one high school here, there is no local school-to-school comparison — everything below describes this single school. Its district, however, is one of the stronger ones in the state, ranking 21st of 141 districts, in the 85th percentile with 4 stars.
The school itself ranks 171st of 271 high schools for 2025–2026 — the 37th percentile with 2 stars — up from the 13th percentile and 1 star the year before. That is real momentum, though the school still sits below the midpoint. English language arts is the clear bright spot: 53.8% of students were proficient, above the statewide 43.8%. Math is the deepest concern, with only 9.1% proficient compared with 32.9% statewide, and science is 25% against 30.6% statewide. Notably, the all-grades and 11th-grade scores are identical in every subject, which is typical of how high school test results are reported.
Two other numbers stand out. The graduation rate is 53.7%, roughly 29 points below the state, and chronic absenteeism is 55.8% — more than half the student body, or about 46 students. About 64% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending is $4,706, and the student-teacher ratio is 32.1. With only 83 students, one student equals about 1.2% of enrollment, so percentages can shift noticeably from year to year. The school's name also suggests it may serve as an alternative or opportunity program, so district and state comparisons should be read with that in mind.
