Summary:
ZIP code 97338 has one public high school, Dallas High School, serving grades 9–12 in the Dallas, Oregon area as part of Dallas School District 2, with 948 students and a mix of above-state graduation but below-state test scores.
For parents, the most encouraging number is the graduation rate: Dallas High School graduates 86.3% of students, which is above Oregon’s 83.0% and close to Dallas School District 2’s 86.8%. However, proficiency is much lower: 20.4% in English language arts and 11.6% in math, compared with state rates of 43.8% and 32.9%. Science is stronger at 26.2%, versus 30.6% statewide. The school ranks 226 out of 271 high schools in 2025–2026, putting it in the 17th percentile with 1 star, after moving from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to 16th in 2024–2025 and 17th in 2025–2026. The district, by contrast, ranks 60 out of 141 districts, in the 57th percentile with 3 stars.
Chronic absenteeism is another key concern: 37.5% of students are chronically absent, above the district’s 32.0% and the state’s 33.5%. About 66.03% qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,201, and the student-teacher ratio is 24.8, all useful context for understanding school pressures. Overall, Dallas High School shows a positive graduation signal and comparatively less severe science results, but ELA and math proficiency, absenteeism, and its bottom-fifth ranking are the main areas for parents to watch and ask about.
