Oregon Trail School District Enrollment Information

Oregon Trail School District - Children Thrive Here!

The district features exceptional students, incredible staff, a supportive community and comprehensive education opportunities. OTSD was the 11th ranked school district in Oregon by School Digger, based on achievement data, while also being home to the 2024 Oregon State Teacher of the Year. The graduation rate of 91.6 percent (Class of 2023) is more than 10 percent higher than the state average, while the district’s Career Technical Education (CTE) offerings include eight different tracks with 57 courses. Our middle school students can also earn high school credits, including early entry into a CTE track.
