Summary:
Port Orford-Langlois School District 2CJ is a small two-school district on Oregon's south coast, serving roughly 235 students split between an elementary school covering grades K–8 and a high school covering grades 9–12. As a district it ranks 80th of 141 in Oregon, at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars, placing it slightly below the state median. About 74% of students attend the elementary school and 26% attend the high school.
Pacific High School is the district's stronger performer, ranking 128th of 271 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and improving from 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24. Its English language arts proficiency of 46.2% is above the state's 43.8%, and its science proficiency of 38.5% is above the state's 30.6%. Math is the weak spot at 15.4% versus the state's 32.9%, and its graduation rate of 76.2% trails Oregon's 83.0% by 6.8 percentage points. The school is very small and well-resourced, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.6 and spending of $35,965 per student.
Driftwood Elementary School ranks 428th of 709 (40th percentile, 2 stars), a rebound from 14th percentile and 1 star in 2024–25. It has standout grade-level results — 3rd grade math at 61.5% versus the state's 41.3%, 5th grade science at 54.5% versus 30.8%, and 8th grade science at 32.0% versus 27.7% — but overall ELA of 32.2% is well below the state's 43.8%, as is math at 23.6% versus 32.9%. Its 4th grade math figure of 6.3% is the largest grade-level gap in the data, though it likely reflects a very small group of students. Across both schools, science is the clearest strength and math the clearest weakness. Two data caveats: Pacific High's listed free/reduced lunch rate of 173.77% is impossible and should not be used, and district and school chronic absenteeism figures do not align given enrollment weights.
