Schools in Wasco County

About schools in Wasco County

Straddling the Columbia River Gorge along Oregon's northern edge, Wasco County covers dramatic high-desert terrain where small towns sit far apart and schools serve tight, distinct communities. Three districts spread across The Dalles, Dufur, and Mosier keep student populations modest and local identity strong. Performance across the county's ten ranked schools clusters near the middle of Oregon statewide rankings — Mosier Community School and Dry Hollow Elementary both reach the 51st percentile, with The Dalles High School close behind. No schools break into the state's top quartile, making this a county worth watching for improvement rather than one leading the pack right now.
