Shall not be denied the opportunity to participate if the student meets district eligibility requirements except attendance and class requirements, AND scores at or above the 23rd percentile on a State Board of Education-approved examination taken annually, resides within attendance boundaries, and meets the same behavioral and performance standards as other participants.
- Governing rule
- Or. Rev. Stat. § 339.460
Checked Aug 8, 2026 against HSLDA's Oregon summary. Athletic association rules change year to year — confirm before the season.
What to do next
Contact the athletic director at the school your child is zoned to attend, well before tryouts — most of these rules carry a notice or paperwork deadline that closes before the season does. Ask which forms they need and when.
Expect to document academic eligibility. Nearly every state that grants access ties it to proof that your student is progressing, which means attendance, hours, and grades in a form the school can keep on file.
