High Schools in Klamath Falls City Schools

Klamath Falls City Schools serves roughly 925 high school students across three schools — Klamath Union High School, Klamath Learning Center, and Eagle Ridge New Technical High School — all serving grades 9 through 12 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The district ranks 63rd of 141 Oregon districts (55th percentile, 3 stars), but that single district number hides a very wide range of performance among the three schools.

Klamath Union High School is the clear standout and the largest, enrolling 671 students (about three-quarters of the district's high schoolers). It has held steady at the 81st percentile with 4 stars for three straight years — far above its own district. Its ELA proficiency (65.9%) and science proficiency (50%) both beat the state (43.8% and 30.6%), and its graduation rate (82.0%) is essentially at the state mark. Klamath Learning Center, with 180 students, shows the biggest improvement: its rank climbed from the 6th percentile to the 25th to the 56th. Its ELA proficiency (64.7%) nearly matches Union's, but its graduation rate (53.8%) and chronic absenteeism (72.6%) are far weaker. Eagle Ridge New Technical High School is tiny (74 students) and by far the most expensive at $91,335 per student, with the best student–teacher ratio (12.3:1). Its graduation rate is 77.8%, but every test score is suppressed by the state, so its academics cannot be judged.

Attendance is the shared weakness: all three schools exceed the state chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5% and the district rate of 42.4%. Math is also weak where reported — neither Klamath Union High School (29.1%) nor Klamath Learning Center (21.4%) reaches the state's 32.9%. Spending varies enormously too, from $11,676 to $91,335 per student within one district.
