Summary:
Klamath County School District serves six high schools — two comprehensive 9–12 campuses and four 7–12 junior/senior high schools — enrolling about 2,159 students in a rural part of southern Oregon, ranging from 105 students at Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School to 720 at Henley High School. As a district, it ranks 78th of 141 in Oregon (45th percentile, 2 stars), but that average masks wide differences among its schools.
Henley High School is the academic leader, ranking 33rd of 271 Oregon high schools (88th percentile, 4 stars) with the highest all-grade ELA (69.5%) and math (33.1%) proficiency, strong science (55.5%), a 97.7% graduation rate, and chronic absenteeism of 23.2% — all while having the largest enrollment, the lowest per-student spending ($18,687), and the highest student-teacher ratio (19.1). Mazama High School is close behind at 77th percentile (4 stars), with the group's best graduation rate (97.9%) and science proficiency (56.3%), though math is a weaker 22.2%.
Among the smaller 7–12 schools, Lost River High School posts the single highest test result — 85.7% in 11th-grade ELA — and the lowest absenteeism (19.2%). Chiloquin High School (3 stars) has a bright spot in 11th-grade science at 48.0%, above the state, but 46.3% chronic absenteeism. Bonanza Junior/Senior High School improved to 40th percentile but remains low in proficiency. Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School has the highest spending ($37,495) and smallest classes (8.9), yet the lowest graduation rate (80.0%) and highest absenteeism (59.6%). Math is a shared weakness, and high graduation rates at some schools do not always match proficiency levels.
