High Schools in Three Rivers/Josephine County School District

The Three Rivers/Josephine County School District in Oregon is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12. Based on the available data, two schools stand out as the strongest performers in the district: North Valley High School and Illinois Valley High School.

North Valley High School and Illinois Valley High School both outperformed the district and state averages on 11th grade proficiency tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. They also had relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the other schools in the district. In contrast, Southern Oregon Success Academy, a virtual school, struggled significantly on academic performance measures, scoring well below the district and state averages.

Across the district, the high schools had similar 4-year graduation rates of 81.8% and chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3%. However, there were notable differences in spending per student, ranging from $9,092 at Southern Oregon Success Academy to $21,484 at North Valley High School. This suggests potential resource allocation disparities that may contribute to the performance gaps between the schools. Overall, the data highlights the need for the district to closely examine the factors driving the differences in school performance and implement strategies to support struggling schools and address systemic challenges faced by the student population.
