Within the district, a few schools stand out. Dry Hollow Elementary School ranks 329 out of 710 elementary schools in Oregon and is rated 3 out of 5 stars, with relatively strong test scores. Mosier Community School, a public charter elementary/middle school, ranks 426 out of 710 elementary schools and has some of the highest test scores in the district. However, other schools like Chenowith Elementary and Colonel Wright Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

The North Wasco County School District 21 faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district has high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and a wide range in spending per student, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be impacting student achievement. While Mosier Community School stands out as a potential bright spot, the district as a whole needs to address the disparities in performance across its schools and work to improve academic outcomes for all students.
