The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) today released the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles for the 2024-25 school year. These profiles were designed with community input to show how schools and districts compare to the statewide average in a number of categories, including regular attenders, statewide assessments, 9th grade on-track to graduate, on-time graduation, and five-year completion. Oregon’s Online Report Card has also been updated, making data more accessible and transparent and allowing parents and families to readily see how their child’s school is doing in comparison to the district and the state with new dial data visualizations.

Highlights from the 2024-25 school year include: 

  • The percentage of 9th graders on track to graduate is the highest ever recorded, including growth among some of Oregon’s most historically marginalized student groups.
  • Attendance is the highest it’s been post-pandemic, but remains below pre-pandemic levels. This includes encouraging gains among some student groups, including kindergarteners and students in foster care.
  • There were notable increases in proficiency in 3rd grade ELA (1.0 percentage point) and 8th grade math (2.1 percentage points), as reported as part of ODE’s statewide test results in October.

“Dedicated, focused, creative educators change students’ lives and keep them on track to graduate,” Governor Tina Kotek said. “At-A-Glance School and District Profiles give us a window into how our schools and districts are doing. Together, we can build towards an Oregon where every student realizes their promise.”

“These profiles are an important tool that help us understand how our students and schools are doing; where we’re making progress, where we can do better, and how we can continue refining the ways we serve communities across the state,” ODE Director Dr. Charlene Williams said. “Ultimately, this data is not just something to report—it’s an opportunity to respond. It’s a chance to continue implementing the strategies we know are effective and to adjust where needed, so every Oregon student can thrive. ODE will continue to focus on supporting programs that make a difference.”

Oregon Online Report Card Updated

With this data release, ODE is adding new dial features to the Oregon Online Report Card that launched in January 2025. Starting with the 2024-25 reporting year, when you look up a school, district, or the state, you will automatically see rates for important indicators.

  • Elementary and middle schools: regular attenders, ELA, math, and science.
  • High schools: 9th grade on-track to graduate, on-time graduation, five-year completion, and college going, in addition to the elementary/middle school indicators.
  • Districts (now aligned with metrics established through SB 141): K-2 regular attenders, regular attenders (all grades), 3rd grade ELA, 8th grade math, 9th grade on-track to graduate, on-time graduation, five-year completion, and college going.
  • State (now aligned with metrics established through SB 141): includes the same indicators as the district version.

The new dials on the Online Report Card show schools’ rates compared to both district and state rates, allowing for efficient At-A-Glance comparisons.

Oregon’s Online Report Card is now updated to show the data released today. Please note that graduation and completion data are for the class of 2024; graduation and 5-year completer data from spring 2025 will be added to the Online Report Card in January 2026 to coincide with the public reporting of those data.
