Summary:
The Harney County Union High School District 1J in Oregon is home to two schools: Silvies River Charter School, an alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12, and Crane Union High School, a public high school serving grades 9-12. While the schools share the same district, they exhibit contrasting performance and characteristics.
Crane Union High School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Oregon and earning 5 and 4 SchoolDigger stars in recent years. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceed the district and state averages, indicating strong academic achievement. In contrast, Silvies River Charter School has proficiency rates that are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of Science.
Another notable difference is the enrollment size, with Silvies River Charter School having a significantly larger student population of 1,053 compared to Crane Union High School's 89 students. This suggests that Silvies River Charter School may be serving a broader geographic area or population within the district. However, both schools share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly above the state average and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
