Schools in Chiloquin, OR

Chiloquin, Oregon has two public schools serving a combined 407 students: Chiloquin Elementary School, which covers grades K–6 with 227 students, and Chiloquin High School, which covers grades 7–12 with 180 students. Both belong to the Klamath County School District, which ranks 78th of 141 districts in Oregon at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. There is no separate middle school here, so grades 7 and 8 sit inside the high school building.

Ranked side by side, the high school is the stronger performer. Its 2025–2026 rank is 98th of 271 (64th percentile, 3 stars), above the district's 45th percentile, and its graduation rate of 89.7% beats both the district (86.7%) and the state (83.0%). Eleventh grade science at 48% and 11th grade math at 25% are also above state averages. The elementary school ranks 575th of 709 (19th percentile, 1 star), though it has improved slightly from the 9th percentile in 2023–2024. Its clearest bright spot is 6th grade math at 33.3%, above district and state, while 5th grade ELA and math both sit at 14.8%. At the high school, 11th grade ELA is 40%, below the district's 59.9% and the state's 46%.

Both schools face similar challenges. Free/reduced lunch is 91.63% at the elementary school and 90.56% at the high school, and chronic absenteeism is high — 37.8% at the elementary school and 46.3% at the high school, well above the state's 33.5%. Per-student spending is $24,680 and $25,064 respectively. The high school's overall math proficiency of 11.8% hides a split: 7th grade math is under 5% and 8th grade math is 9.1%, both far below district and state. Middle-grade math and attendance are the areas most worth asking about.
