Summary:
The Rogue River School District 35 in Oregon serves students from 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 junior/senior high school, and 2 alternative schools. The district faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, but also has some standout performers, particularly the Rivers Edge Academy Charter School.
Rivers Edge Academy Charter School is an alternative school that excels academically, with 70% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 37% for the district and 44.4% statewide. The school also has strong performance in math and science. In contrast, the other schools in the district lag behind state averages, particularly in math, suggesting potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed.
The Rogue River Junior/Senior High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8% for 2023-2024, better than the state average, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as extremely high chronic absenteeism rates around 34% and significant funding disparities, with the alternative schools spending much less per student than the traditional high school. Addressing these issues could help improve outcomes across the district.
