Summary:
Sheridan School District 48J in Oregon serves about 1,082 students across three schools: Faulconer-Chapman School, a K–8 elementary with 515 students; Sheridan AllPrep Academy, a K–12 alternative school with 356 students; and Sheridan High School, a 9–12 high school with 211 students. There is no standalone middle school, so middle grades are split between the K–8 elementary and the K–12 alternative. The district ranks 53rd of 141 districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars), while the two ranked schools individually sit far lower.
Sheridan AllPrep Academy is the clear academic standout. Its All Grades proficiency beats both the district and the state in ELA (56.3% vs. 35% and 43.8%), math (44.7% vs. 24.9% and 32.9%), and science (48.0% vs. 28.6% and 30.6%). It also has by far the lowest chronic absenteeism at 5.0%, compared with 34.5% districtwide and 33.5% statewide. Its graduation rate of 62.7% is below the district's 76.1% and the state's 83.0%. Some 5th-grade scores are suppressed, so those are unknown rather than weak.
Sheridan High School graduates students at 86.4%, above district and state, but math is a severe weak point: 6.5% at both All Grades and 11th grade, and chronic absenteeism is 49.7%. It also has the highest per-student spending ($22,849) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (21.1) in the district. Faulconer-Chapman School is the largest school, with proficiency below district and state in all three subjects (ELA 24.2%, Math 17.3%, Science 14.0%) and 48.7% chronic absenteeism; 3rd Grade Math (45.8%) is a bright spot, though 8th Grade Math is under 5%.
