Summary:

Three Rivers/Josephine County School District serves 17 schools — 9 elementary, 3 middle, and 5 high — enrolling 4,440 students in Josephine County, southern Oregon. The district ranks 67th of 141 in Oregon at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, and its reported results trail the state in every core area: ELA 40.2% vs the state's 43.8%, math 29.0% vs 32.9%, science 28.4% vs 30.6%, graduation 71.9% vs 83.0%, and chronic absenteeism 37.6% vs 33.5%.

Among elementary schools, Williams Elementary School posts the district's highest all-grade ELA and math at 55.9% each (science is suppressed), while Applegate Elementary School is the strongest all-around performer at 53.4% ELA, 50% math, and 33.3% science, and ranks highest among these schools at the 76th percentile. Manzanita Elementary School combines solid scores with the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 26.3%. At the middle level, Lorna Byrne Middle School leads in ELA and science, and Lincoln Savage Middle School shines in science. Among high schools, North Valley High School has the top graduation rate (94.1%) and Illinois Valley High School the strongest academics, though both struggle in math.

Math is the district's clearest weakness, especially in high school (11th-grade math 11.8% vs the state's 22.9%). Southern Oregon Success Academy reports the most severe outcomes — math and science under 5%, graduation 25.7%, and chronic absenteeism 71.2%. Rank gains at Ft Vannoy Elementary School, Madrona Elementary School, and Kalmiopsis Community Arts High School show improvement is possible. Because many scores are suppressed, bounded, or reported above 100%, some figures should be read cautiously.
