Grants Pass School District 7

The Grants Pass School District 7 in Oregon consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 virtual school. The district as a whole is ranked 46 out of 140 districts in Oregon and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Riverside Elementary School ranks 198 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools and is rated 4 stars, with strong test scores and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. North Middle School ranks 99 out of 368 Oregon middle schools and is also rated 4 stars, with consistently high test scores. At the high school level, Grants Pass High School ranks 38 out of 270 Oregon high schools, with a strong graduation rate and high test scores.

However, the district also faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and wide disparities in academic performance and funding. The alternative high schools, such as GPFLEX School and Gladiola High School, have significantly lower test scores compared to the higher-performing schools. Additionally, the district's high free/reduced lunch rates indicate a high level of economic disadvantage among students, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by many schools.
