Summary:
Central Point, Oregon has 8 schools — six elementary (including a K–8 charter and a K–2 primary), one middle school, and one high school — serving roughly 4,392 students, with seven schools in Central Point School District 6 and one in the neighboring Medford School District 549C. Crater High School alone accounts for about a third of the city's students. Poverty indicators are uniformly high everywhere, with free/reduced lunch ranging only from 73.49% at Madrone Trail to 80.09% at Central Point Elementary, so score gaps between schools are not simply a story of one campus serving wealthier families. Math is the citywide weak spot — only one school beats the state in all-grade math.
Sams Valley Elementary School is the strongest overall school here: above the state in ELA (47.7%), math (45%), and science (33.3%), rated 3 stars, and up from the 37th to the 65th percentile since 2023–2024. Crater High School has a split profile — an 87.8% graduation rate and 54.8% ELA, both above state, but just 15.1% math against the state's 22.9%. Central Point Elementary School beats the state in science and in 5th-grade ELA (51.2%), climbing from the 18th to the 40th percentile. Scenic Middle School sits near state averages, with 8th-grade ELA and science slightly ahead.
At the other end, Madrone Trail Public Charter School is the lowest performer: 0 stars, 5th percentile, 10.9% math, and 5th-grade math under 5%. Jewett Elementary School has the city's lowest chronic absenteeism at 19.3%, far under the state's 33.5%, yet remains 1 star with 12% science — attendance and achievement don't move in lockstep. Richardson Elementary School has the highest student-teacher ratio (22.5) while its math slightly exceeds the district. Spending ranges from $4,908 at Rogue Primary School to $19,628 at Crater High without clearly predicting outcomes, and school-level rank often diverges from district rank.
