Summary:
Coquille School District 8 in Coquille, Oregon contains two high schools — Coquille Junior Senior High, serving grades 7–12 with 360 students, and Winter Lakes High, serving grades 8–12 with 237 students — for a combined enrollment of 597. Coquille School District 8 ranks 82 of 141 in Oregon (42nd percentile, 2 stars), but that district average blends two schools whose outcomes and recent trends point in opposite directions. Because Coquille serves grade 7 and Winter Lakes does not, 7th-grade results have no direct counterpart at Winter Lakes, and all-grade scores are not perfectly comparable.
Coquille Junior Senior High is the standout. It ranks 111 of 271 (59th percentile, 3 stars), up from 42nd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24. Its graduation rate is 93.6%, far above the state's 83.0% and the district's 41.0%. ELA proficiency is 55.9% in All Grades, above district and state, and strongest in 11th grade at 62.1%; 7th-grade math (43.2%) and 11th-grade science (37.9%) also beat district and state. Chronic absenteeism is 38.6% — above the state's 33.5% but below the district's 46.7%. Its main weakness is upper-grade math, at 10.9% in 8th grade and 9.1% in 11th grade.
Winter Lakes High reports much steeper challenges: 228 of 271 (16th percentile, 1 star), a graduation rate of 14.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 60.9%. Its ELA is 29.2% in All Grades, science is 16.7%, and math is under 5%; 8th-grade results are suppressed by the state, meaning unknown rather than zero. It also has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (93.25% vs. 89.72%), lower spending per student ($15,713 vs. $23,091), and a higher student–teacher ratio (23.7 vs. 17.4).
