Summary:

The city of Grants Pass, Oregon is home to 21 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools in this area are operated by two main school districts: Grants Pass School District 7 and Three Rivers/Josephine County School District.

Among the standout schools in Grants Pass are Grants Pass High School, which ranks 38th out of 270 Oregon high schools and earns a 4-star rating, with strong academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Fruitdale Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School also stand out as high-performing elementary schools, with 4-star ratings and impressive test scores. However, the data reveals a significant gap in academic performance between the schools in the Grants Pass School District 7 and the schools in the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District.

Across the schools in Grants Pass, the four-year graduation rate is on par with the state average at 81.8%, but the chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher at 34.3%. Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 54.61% to 83.46%. These socioeconomic challenges may be contributing to the academic performance disparities observed between the two school districts.
