Not every statistic is collected every year — each row shows its most recent available school year (amber when older than 2024–25). Blank/absent means not collected or below reliability floors, never zero. Some universal-meals states no longer report free/reduced-price lunch — school poverty (MEPS) is the better lens there. A 0% charter share in a state without a charter-school law is a true zero.
Oregon state report card
Outcomes reported directly by Oregon’s education agency — often more current than the federal series above. Because each state uses its own tests, definitions, and reporting windows, these figures are not comparable state-to-state; each row notes how Oregon measures it.
| Measure | Latest | Trend | School year |
|---|---|---|---|
5-year graduation rate How Oregon measures thisOregon 5-year Cohort Graduation Rate as of end of 2024-25 (cohort entered grade 9 in 2020-21, expected Class of 2024, followed one extra year); state-level row, '5YR State and County' tab | 84.1% | 2024–25 | |
Math proficiency (state test) How Oregon measures thisOSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) Mathematics summative, grades 3-8 and 11 combined ('All Grades'); percent of students with valid scores at Level 3 or 4 (Proficient); denominator = sum of Level 1-4 counts (valid scores), which is slightly smaller than 'Number of Participants' (261,146) | 31.5% | 2024–25 | |
Reading / ELA proficiency (state test) How Oregon measures thisOSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) ELA summative, grades 3-8 and 11 combined ('All Grades'); percent of students with valid scores at Level 3 or 4 (Proficient); denominator = sum of Level 1-4 counts (valid scores), which is slightly smaller than 'Number of Participants' (263,361) | 43.0% | 2024–25 | |
Chronic absenteeism (recent) How Oregon measures thisPercent Chronically Absent (attended 90% or fewer of enrolled days = missed >=10%), published directly alongside Regular Attenders; window = start of 2024-25 school year through first school day in May 2025; students enrolled >=75 days as of that day; all grades, State Level row | 33.5% | 2024–25 |
Source: OregonDepartment of Education (public reporting), 2026 collection. Not comparable across states — proficiency reflects different assessments and cut scores; graduation, dropout, and college-going use each state’s own cohort definitions and windows. Absent rows mean the state doesn’t publish that measure in a comparable file.
