Morrow School District 1


Summary:

The Morrow School District 1 in Oregon consists of 9 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a high-need student population, with most schools having over two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance. Heppner Junior/Senior High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Heppner Elementary School also performs very well, ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools with high proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in many schools falling below state averages, especially at the secondary level. There are also large gaps in performance between the highest and lowest performing schools, suggesting uneven educational opportunities for students. The higher-performing schools tend to have higher per-student spending, which may contribute to their stronger academic results and raises questions about equitable funding across the district. Despite these challenges, the district's standout schools demonstrate the potential for improvement with the right resources and strategies.
