Central Curry School District 1

The Central Curry School District 1 in Oregon is home to two schools: Riley Creek Elementary School and Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School. While both schools serve a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the data analysis reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance.

Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Oregon. In the 2023-2024 school year, it ranked 9th out of 268 Oregon high schools, with exceptional academic achievement in English Language Arts, Science, and Mathematics. In contrast, Riley Creek Elementary School has more mixed test scores, with some grades performing above the state average while others fall below.

The data also reveals significant differences in resource allocation, with Gold Beach Junior/Senior High School spending significantly more per student and maintaining a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Riley Creek Elementary School. These factors may contribute to the high school's exceptional performance and suggest that further investigation into effective strategies for supporting student success could benefit the entire Central Curry School District 1.
