Summary:

Harney County School District 3 in Oregon consists of 3 schools: Henry L Slater Elementary School, Burns High School, and Hines Middle School. The district serves students from elementary through high school grades.

Among the standout schools, Henry L Slater Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 574th out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 418th out of 706 in 2024-2025. The school's 3rd and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are also above the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Burns High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, and its 11th grade ELA proficiency rate is above the district and state averages.

However, the district faces some challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, there are significant disparities in academic performance, particularly in ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, between the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The district should focus on addressing these issues through targeted interventions and data-driven decision-making to better support the educational needs of its students.
