Eagle Point School District 9

Eagle Point School District 9 in southern Oregon serves 4,036 students across 10 schools — five elementary, two middle, two high, and one alternative school — with enrollment ranging from 47 students at Lake Creek Learning Center to 1,000 at Eagle Point High School. The district is ranked 112th of 141 Oregon districts (21st percentile, 1 star), and its proficiency trails the state in every tested subject: ELA 32.8% vs. 43.8%, Math 24.1% vs. 32.9%, and Science 22.0% vs. 30.6%. The graduation rate is 79.1% vs. 83.0% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is 33.3%, nearly identical to the state's 33.5%.

That district average hides wide differences between schools. Shady Cove School ranks in the 66th percentile (3 stars), up from the 36th, with 43.2% ELA, 46.8% Math and 55.6% Science — the only reporting school above the state science mark. Lake Creek Learning Center posts the district's highest ELA (60%) and Math (64%), though it is very small and its Science score is suppressed. Eagle Rock Elementary School (55th percentile, 3 stars) beats the state in ELA and Math, and Eagle Point Middle School (3 stars) edges the state in Math. Eagle Point High School climbed from 1 to 3 stars, with a 94.6% graduation rate and 52.9% ELA, though Math is 18.1%. Crater Lake Academy graduates 92.0% but has low test proficiency.

At the other end, Table Rock Elementary is last, in the 4th percentile with 0 stars (18.8% ELA, 15.5% Math, 8.6% Science). URCEO faces the most severe challenges: 89.3% chronic absenteeism, 29.0% graduation, 13.0% ELA and 13.5% Math — though its 11th-grade Math is 25%, above state and district, and it improved from the 3rd to the 37th percentile. Lower absenteeism tends to accompany stronger results, and spending and class size do not match outcomes in a simple way.
