The Oregon Diploma

Twenty-four credits, and none labelled computer science

The credit table as the Oregon Department of Education publishes it on its Oregon Diploma page, read on 18 October 2026. The total of 24 is the department’s own figure.

Oregon Diploma credit requirements, as listed by ODE
Subject area	Credits	ODE note, in brief
Language Arts	4	Renamed from English Language Arts in 2021
Mathematics	3	Algebra I and above; courses aligned to the Algebra, Geometry and Data Reasoning standards count
Science	3	Includes Scientific Inquiry and lab experiences
Social Sciences	3	Includes at least 0.5 credit of Civics
World Languages, Arts or Career and Technical Education	3	Credits may come from any of these areas
Health and Physical Education	1 each
Personal Financial Education; Higher Education and Career Path Skills	0.5 each	For students graduating on or after January 1, 2027, under Senate Bill 3
Electives	5	Six before 2027
Total	24	The department’s stated minimum

Three parts to a diploma

ODE lists three things a student must do: demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skills, complete personalized learning requirements, and earn the credits above. The State Board has suspended the Essential Skills assessment as a diploma requirement through the 2027 to 2028 school year.

Districts can add more

The department notes that districts may set requirements beyond the state minimum, so a family’s own district website is the place to check for anything extra, computer science included.

Where coding can sit

With no computer science line, a coding course usually appears as an elective or within one of the grouped areas, depending on how the district codes it. We do not assume which; the counselor knows.

We looked for an Oregon computer science standards page from the ODE standards index and site map and did not find one on 18 October 2026, so this page makes no claim about Oregon computer science standards. What the diploma page does say plainly is that Data Reasoning is one of the standards families behind the math credits, which is a natural home for programming with data.

How credit is awarded

Four kinds of evidence Oregon schools may use

ODE’s Options for Awarding Credit page says credit may be awarded when a student meets defined levels of proficiency, and lists approved sources of evidence, established in OAR 581-022-2025.

Approved sources of evidence for awarding credit, as ODE lists them
Source of evidence	What ODE describes
Evidence generated in courses	Student work, teacher-student contacts and class sessions, judged by the teacher
Stand-alone assessments	Summative assessments designed to certify the defined level of proficiency
Collections of evidence	A student-created collection of evidence scored against rubrics
Prior mastery	Documentation such as certification of training, letters, diplomas or awards

This is the department describing what schools may accept, not a promise that any particular outside class earns credit. We make no such claim. A student who builds real projects outside school does, however, end up with exactly the kind of work that can be shown, explained and assessed if a school chooses to look at it, and the decision rests entirely with the school and district.

A portfolio habit worth starting early

Students in our classes keep every finished project, with a short note on what it does and what they learned. Whether or not it is ever used for credit, a folder of working code is the clearest answer to the question of what a student can actually do.

The published figures

Fewer Oregon high schools offering CS than in 2021 to 2022

Oregon values from the Access and Participation tabs of Code.org’s 2025 data, and the College Board AP school counts. Years Oregon did not report are shown as such, and the latest participation year is 2022 to 2023.

Oregon: high schools offering CS and students enrolled in CS, by year (Code.org, 2025)
Year	High schools offering CS	Students enrolled in CS
2018 to 2019	54%	Not in the sheet
2019 to 2020	Not reported	Not in the sheet
2020 to 2021	63%	8.1%
2021 to 2022	64%	6.7%
2022 to 2023	60.2%	6.94%, or 12,717 of 183,221
2023 to 2024	56.2%, or 195 of 347	Not reported
2024 to 2025	Not reported	Not reported

Oregon AP schools (College Board) and the national comparison points
Measure	Oregon	Comparison or split
Students enrolled in CS, 2022 to 2023	6.94%	6.4% nationally
High schools offering CS, 2023 to 2024	56.2%	60% nationally
Schools with AP exams, 2023	194	160 public, 34 non-public
Schools with AP exams, 2024	196	161 public, 35 non-public

Oregon is unusual in this data. Its enrolled share in 2022 to 2023 was a little above the national figure, while the share of schools offering computer science has fallen two years running since 2021 to 2022. The sheet reports the values and the source, the state education agency, but not reasons, and we add none. The enrollment percentage divides by an NCES fall 2022 student count.

Signature project

Fifteen years of Oregon libraries, and the trap in the Year column

The State Library of Oregon publishes annual statistics for every public library on Oregon’s Open Data Portal, collected under the state’s annual report statute. Students build a time series and meet a classic date problem on the first line.

Median teen (ages 12 to 18) programs per Oregon public library, by report year (our medians from the State Library data, 18 October 2026)
Year column	Fiscal year it covers	Libraries reporting	Median teen programs
2010	July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010	133	4
2015	July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015	137	9
2019	July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019	136	12
2021	July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021	141	2
2023	July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023	136	15
2024	July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024	136	18
2025	July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025	136	16

The label is not the year

The dataset says reporting periods are identified by the year the report was submitted, so FY2009-2010 is stored as 2010. A student who plots Year without reading that note shifts every point by months.

Use the real dates

Each row also carries a start date and an end date, July 1 to June 30. Students parse those into proper dates and plot against the fiscal-year end, which makes the series honest on a calendar axis.

Fields arrive late

The e-book circulation field is filled only in the 2025 rows, for 133 libraries, with a median of 4,722. Fifteen years of zeros would be wrong; the honest chart starts where the data does.

The working code is short: df["fy_end"] = pd.to_datetime(df["enddate"]), then df.groupby(df["fy_end"].dt.year)["programsya12_18"].median(). Students use the median rather than a sum because library sizes vary enormously, and because adding up every library would produce a state total the State Library may report differently. The table has 2,183 rows across sixteen report years, with between 133 and 144 libraries in each. The data records what each library reported, not why a year rose or fell, and we draw no conclusions about the changes.

Every median here is ours

The medians are our calculation from one download of the State Library of Oregon dataset, which sets no licence field and credits the State Library. They are teaching results, not official statistics, and a student rerunning the code after the next annual update will get slightly different numbers.

Class times

Pacific Time for most of Oregon, Mountain for most of Malheur County

In the IANA time zone database, Oregon is on Pacific Time except the northern three quarters of Malheur County, which keeps Mountain Time under the America/Boise zone, described as Mountain for south Idaho and east Oregon.

One example lesson in both Oregon zones and in India (our worked example)
Clock	Before November 1, 2026	After November 1, 2026
Pacific Time, most of Oregon	4:30 p.m.	4:30 p.m.
Mountain Time, most of Malheur County	5:30 p.m.	5:30 p.m.
India time	5:00 a.m. the next day	6:00 a.m. the next day

Tell us your zone

Families in the Mountain Time part of the state simply tell us so, and every time we send is written in their own zone rather than Portland’s.

The changeover dates

Both zones follow the US rule: clocks fall back on November 1, 2026 and spring forward on March 14, 2027, the first Sunday of November and the second of March.

Why India moves

India stays on one offset all year, so the teacher’s hour shifts when Oregon’s clocks do, while the Oregon class time stays fixed.

Two zones, one bug to avoid

A scheduler that assumes all of Oregon is Pacific sends Malheur County families the wrong hour. Students who look up a zone by place, America/Los_Angeles or America/Boise, before formatting a time have learned to check an assumption that most code never questions.

Coding and AI

Would an AI notice that 2010 means the 2009 to 2010 fiscal year?

Only if someone points it to the dataset note, which is exactly the habit we teach.

Ask an AI assistant to chart the Oregon library series and it will happily plot the Year column as calendar years. The chart will look fine. It will also be shifted, because the State Library labels each fiscal year by the year the report was submitted. Nothing in the numbers themselves reveals that.

Students who have read the description and parsed the start and end dates know what to tell the assistant, and they check its chart against their own. That is the working pattern we want for every student: use AI to move faster, and keep the responsibility for what the result means.

Oregon’s math credits already name Data Reasoning; reading the small print on a dataset is where that reasoning starts. The longer argument is in why learning to code still pays off in 2026.
