Mitchell School is a public school in Mitchell in the U.S. state of Oregon with an enrollment of about 70 students.[3] The K–12 school is the only school in the Mitchell School District, which covers sections of Wheeler County, including Mitchell.[4]

Mitchell School operates a boarding residence for up to 20 students in grades 9 through 12.[5] The dormitory opened midway in September 1992 as a way of keeping the student populations up as the native population of the county declined. Some students were enrolled in the dormitory to put them in a more structured environment away from urban life.[6] In 2020 the dormitory had 12 students.[7] These students come from all over the world as well as all over Oregon. During the 2013 - 2014 school year, they included students from Thailand, Hong Kong, Germany, Mexico and Spain.

Academics

In 2008, 100 percent of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 2 students, 2 graduated and 0 dropped out.[8] [9]

Campus

The school closed its dormitory during the COVID-19 pandemic in Oregon with a scheduled reopening in August 2021.[10]
