Summary:
ZIP code 97374 is home to exactly one public high school, Scio High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 227 students in the rural community of Scio, Oregon, as part of Scio School District 95. Because there is no other high school in the ZIP code, the most meaningful comparisons are to the district and to Oregon statewide averages. The district itself ranks 44th of 141 Oregon districts, in the 69th percentile with 3 stars.
Scio High School's clearest strength is graduation: 89.5% of students graduate, above the district's 79.3% and the state's 83.0%. Science is also a bright spot at 36.2% proficiency, above the state at both All Grades (30.6%) and 11th Grade (33.8%), and above the district's All Grades rate of 34.0%. English Language Arts at All Grades, 44.7%, is slightly above both the district (42.5%) and the state (43.8%), though 11th-grade ELA, also 44.7%, trails the district's 56.1% and the state's 46.0%. The school's ranking has swung sharply — 4 stars in 2023–2024, 1 star in 2024–2025, and back to 3 stars in 2025–2026 — so the recent recovery is encouraging but not yet back to its earlier level.
The two areas to watch are mathematics and attendance. Math proficiency is 23.9%, well below the district's 37.5% and the state's 32.9%; at 11th grade it sits far under the district's 44.3% while just edging the state's 22.9%. Chronic absenteeism is 42.3%, roughly in line with the district's 42.7% but almost 9 percentage points above the state's 33.5%, suggesting a regional pattern rather than a school-only issue. For context, 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $16,479, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8.
