Summary
Oregon High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in the village of Oregon, Wisconsin, south of Madison, with 1,339 students. It is part of the Oregon School District, which ranks 50th of 432 districts statewide, and the school itself ranks 73rd of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 — the 86th percentile, or 4 stars. That fits a long-term pattern of stable, upper-quartile performance: Oregon High has ranked in the 80s for most of the past decade, dipping to the 75th percentile in 2024–2025 before rebounding.
Completion outcomes are excellent. The graduation rate was 97.5% in 2024–2025, well above the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. Chronic absenteeism, at 13.6%, is below the state's 17.3% but above the district's 8.7%, and it has risen from 4.6% in 2020–2021 — a metric worth watching. In 2025–2026 testing, Oregon High exceeded the state in all four reported areas: Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with its largest margins in Science and ELA (roughly 15 points each). McFarland High outranks Oregon overall and scores higher in Social Studies, Math, and Science, but Oregon leads in ELA by about 8 points. Compared with Stoughton High and LaFollette High, Oregon posts higher proficiency in all four subjects.
Oregon High spends $15,258 per student with a 14.2 student-teacher ratio — less than McFarland High, Stoughton High, Monona Grove Liberal Arts, and LaFollette High — while producing stronger results than most of them. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 16.88%. Subgroup effectiveness is above average for most groups, with notable recent gains for low-income and special education students. The clearest gap is English Language Learner students, who rank in only the 17th percentile statewide. Overall, this is a strong, relatively affluent comprehensive high school whose main opportunities are reducing chronic absenteeism and better serving English Language Learners.
