Pilot Rock School District 2R

What Pilot Rock School District 2R does

Pilot Rock School District 2R is a rural K-12 public school district operating under Oregon state law, headquartered at 200 McGowan Drive in Pilot Rock, Oregon. The district operates two school sites: Pilot Rock Elementary School (PreK through 6th grade, approximately 140 students) and Pilot Rock Jr./Sr. High School (7th through 12th grade, established in 1919), with district-wide enrollment of approximately 280 students and 18 staff. The district is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Directors and administered by Superintendent/Elementary Principal Troy Jerome. Academically the district reports a 100% average graduation rate and a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, alongside athletics participation in OSAA and extracurriculars including FFA, theater, and Key Club.

The service portfolio covers standard K-12 instructional delivery, college-credit opportunities, career and technical education through FFA, a full athletics program (mascot: Rockets), student wellness and mental health support (Care Solace partnership plus an in-house School Social Worker), food services with free meals for grades 6-12, and a School Safety Program anchored on the SafeOregon tip line. The technology stack is a layered assortment of commercial ed-tech and administrative SaaS: Google Classroom and Zoom EDU for instruction; StudentVue/ParentVue and a Cascadetech-hosted SIS for grade and record access; Final Forms for enrollment and athletic forms; Meal Time for cafeteria payments; Planbookedu for lesson planning; Okta as the employee web portal; and TalentEd Perform for staff evaluation. The website and parent communication layer run on the ParentSquare CMS platform.

Funding flows through Oregon's State School Fund enrollment-based formula (ADMr/ADMw), supplemented by local property taxes and federal categorical grants such as Title and IDEA. Adult meal pricing is the only directly disclosed pricing (breakfast $2.25, lunch $4.70). Distribution is single-channel and geographically captive: direct enrollment of district residents, augmented by cooperative athletic agreements with Nixyaawii Community School and Ukiah High School to keep niche sports viable, and by IMESD for shared technology services across 19 districts in Umatilla, Morrow, Union, and Baker counties. The district does not participate in private capital markets, has no M&A history, and operates on a continuing-operating status under standard Oregon school district regulation.
