Morrow Education Center

Irrigon is a small, tight-knit town along the Columbia River in eastern Oregon, where agriculture and outdoor life define the pace of things — but families considering Morrow Education Center should go in with clear eyes about the academics. Test scores sit well below state averages in both English and math, making this a school that may work best for families who are deeply engaged in supplementing their child's education at home or through outside resources. The surrounding Morrow County community has a strong sense of place, and for families already rooted here, being close to extended family and a familiar way of life may outweigh the academic challenges the school currently faces.
