Summary:
Sheridan, Oregon has three schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade, all within Sheridan School District 48J: Faulconer-Chapman School (K–8, 515 students), Sheridan AllPrep Academy (alternative, K–12, 356 students), and Sheridan High School (9–12, 211 students), totaling 1,082 students. There is no standalone middle school — Faulconer-Chapman covers those grades. The district ranks 53rd of 141 in Oregon, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, but school-level results vary far more than that summary suggests.
Sheridan AllPrep Academy is the academic standout, beating district and state in all three tested subjects (ELA 56.3%, math 44.7%, science 48%), with 11th-grade results well above the state as well. Its chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 5.0%, versus district 34.5% and state 33.5%. However, its graduation rate is 62.7%, below the district's 76.1% and the state's 83.0%, and some 5th-grade scores are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown. Sheridan High School has the best graduation rate at 86.4%, but absenteeism of 49.7% and very low all-grade math proficiency of 6.5%. Faulconer-Chapman School has the lowest proficiency (ELA 24.2%, math 17.3%, science 14%) and absenteeism of 48.7%, though third-grade math at 45.8% is a bright spot and 8th-grade math is under 5%.
Spending runs opposite to proficiency here: Sheridan High spends the most per student ($22,849) with the lowest math score, while AllPrep spends the least ($4,994) with the highest. Poverty indicators are high where reported — 83.11% free/reduced lunch at Faulconer-Chapman and 87.68% at Sheridan High; AllPrep's value is not reported, so it cannot be compared. Both ranked schools are improving from a low base, with Faulconer-Chapman moving from the 6th to the 13th percentile and Sheridan High from the 2nd to the 26th.
