Summary:
Rogue River School District 35 in southern Oregon has exactly one high school: Rogue River Junior/Senior High, a combined junior/senior high serving grades 7 through 12 at 1898 E Evans Creek Rd in Rogue River. It enrolls 339 students — roughly 57 per grade — and 65.49% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making it a small, high-poverty school. Because the Rogue River School District 35 contains only this one high school, there is no local peer to compare it with; the meaningful comparison is against Oregon as a whole.
Academically, the school behaves like two different schools in one building. In 2025-26 its 11th graders beat the state in every subject tested: 62.1% proficient in English language arts (16.1 points above Oregon), 50.0% in science (16.2 points above), and 32.8% in math (9.9 points above). Grades 7 and 8, by contrast, trail the state in all six tested measures, and math is the clear weak point — 15.9% in 7th grade and 15.4% in 8th grade, roughly half the state rate. That middle-grades gap is what pulls the school-wide math figure down to 22.1%, 10.8 points below the state, even though 11th-grade math is comfortably above it. Science is a quiet strength overall at 36.4%, 5.8 points above the state.
On accountability measures, graduation sits essentially on the state line: 82.4%, compared with Oregon's 83.0% and above the district's 81.3%. Chronic absenteeism is 31.5% — about 2 points better than the state, but still roughly one in three students. Per-student spending is $22,887, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 (about 22 teachers). The school's rank rebounded sharply, from the 27th percentile (1 star) in 2024-25 to the 82nd percentile (4 stars) in 2025-26. That turnaround is encouraging, but with cohorts this small, a single year is not yet a trend.
