2021 - 2022 Audited Financial Statement

The Sisters School District is one of the best school districts in the state of Oregon by almost any measure you use. We have high test scores, a strong graduation rate and most of our graduates go on to successful post high school placements in colleges, community colleges, the military or trade schools. What sets our school district apart from the other districts in the state is our small class sizes, which have been a budgeting priority, that are made possible because of the Local Option which originally passed in 2000 and renewed the fourth time in 2018. What makes the Sisters School District unique, not only in Oregon but also in the United States, is our close relationship with our community and the incredible partnerships we have created which allow us to offer special classes most schools could only dream of offering their students. This includes our place based natural resource programs in the middle school and high school (IEE, ECoS) which gets kids outdoors and teaches them about stewardship and the connections we all have to our environment. Because of our partnership with the Sisters Science Club, our students have opportunities to experience science K-12 and have enhanced science learning. We have a partnership with the Sisters Folk Festival which has helped us keep art and music in all of our schools and fostered learning opportunities such as the Americana program and our Luthier program. We are one of three high schools in the nation that offer a pathway for students to earn their personal private pilots license. We have counseling and mental health services available in all of our schools through our partnership with Deschutes County and through grants. We have Chinese language learning available K-12 throughout the district. Suffice it to say the Sisters School District is a special place and because of our ability to partner with our community and be creative, our student achievement and graduation rates continue to be amongst the highest in the state.
