Summary:
The city of Chiloquin, Oregon is home to two schools: Chiloquin Elementary School and Chiloquin High School, both serving students from the Klamath County School District. While the schools share some common challenges, they also exhibit distinct performance trends that warrant closer examination.
Chiloquin High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, rising from 152nd out of 258 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023 to 30th out of 268 in 2023-2024, before dropping back down to 143rd out of 270 in 2024-2025. This volatility suggests the school's performance has been quite uneven. In contrast, Chiloquin Elementary School has consistently low test scores compared to the Klamath County School District and the state of Oregon, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels.
Both Chiloquin Elementary and Chiloquin High have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at around 75% for each school, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This economic challenge is further reflected in the schools' high chronic absenteeism rates, which reached 34.3% in 2023-2024 for both schools. Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the academic struggles and other challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions to support student learning and address the unique needs of the Chiloquin community.
