ODE Recovery School District

Headquartered in Oregon’s state capital at 255 Capitol Street NE in Salem, the ODE Recovery School District is a newly established, state-operated agency providing a specialized educational framework. Set within a midsize city environment, this non-charter district is configured to support students across high school grade levels from 9th through 12th grade, alongside administrative capacity for pre-kindergarten programming. Overseen directly by state education authorities, the agency reflects a targeted public initiative designed to address specific secondary educational pathways outside the traditional local school district model.

In its operational profile for the 2024–2025 academic year, the district serves a specialized cohort of 12 upper-level high school students, featuring a balanced gender distribution with learners enrolled across the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Rather than managing standard campus facilities or employing direct district-level classroom staff—reflected in its status of zero standalone operational school buildings and zero full-time equivalent instructional staff on central roster—the district functions through a centralized, state-managed delivery model. This streamlined structure offers researchers, families, and community members a unique model of state-level intervention tailored to support high school completion within an urban capital context.
