Summary:
Five high schools serve students in the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District in rural Josephine County, Oregon — three traditional 9–12 comprehensive high schools (Hidden Valley High School, North Valley High School, and Illinois Valley High School) and two smaller alternative or community settings (Southern Oregon Success Academy, serving grades 6–12, and Kalmiopsis Community Arts High School), with total enrollment of about 1,497 students. The district is ranked 67th of 141 Oregon districts, with 3 stars.
The biggest divide is between the comprehensive high schools and the smaller alternative settings. Graduation rates at the three traditional high schools run from 87.7% at Hidden Valley to 94.1% at North Valley — highest in the group — all above the state's 83.0%. Illinois Valley graduates 92.1%. By contrast, Kalmiopsis is at 36.4% and Southern Oregon Success at 25.7%, pulling the district's overall rate to 71.9%. Math is the clearest system-wide weakness: no school reaches the state's 32.9%, and only Illinois Valley (27.1%) comes close, while North Valley sits at 6% and Southern Oregon Success is under 5%. Attendance is also a district concern, with four of five schools above the state's 33.5% chronic absenteeism rate; only Kalmiopsis (30.0%) is below it, while Southern Oregon Success's 71.2% and Illinois Valley's 40.9% are the highest.
Among traditional high schools, Illinois Valley is the academic leader — strongest ELA (46.7%) and math (27.1%), science at 31.0%, and the highest per-student spending at $27,620 — though its chronic absenteeism is 40.9%. North Valley pairs the top graduation rate with the top science score (32.6%) but the lowest math result (6%). Hidden Valley is largest at 522 students with 100% free/reduced lunch, and its rank fell from 3 stars to 1 star. Southern Oregon Success is the most challenged across nearly every measure, with the highest student-teacher ratio (42.6). Kalmiopsis is smallest at 47 students with the lowest ratio (11.1) and the most improved rank, from 0 to 2 stars.
