Summary

Shady Cove School is a small public elementary school in the rural Shady Cove area of southern Oregon, near Medford, serving 183 students in grades K–6 as part of Eagle Point School District 9. It has been a turnaround school: it rose from the 27th percentile in 2022–23 to the 66th percentile in 2025–26, earning 3 stars, after earlier years in the 8th–13th percentile. That makes it a bright spot in a district ranked 112th of 141 in Oregon.

In 2025–26 OSAS results, Shady Cove School outperformed its district in every subject and beat the state in math and science. All-grade proficiency was 43.2% in English language arts, 46.8% in math, and 55.6% in science, compared with district rates of 32.8%, 24.1%, and 22.0% and state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Third-grade ELA is the main watch area at 25.8%, below the state’s 41.5%, while grades 4–6 were above state in ELA. Among same-district peers, its science score far exceeds Eagle Rock Elementary School (22.8%), Table Rock Elementary (8.6%), and Hillside Elementary (10.1%); Lake Creek Learning Center is tiny and its science score is suppressed. Against higher-income nearby schools such as Abraham Lincoln Elementary and Sams Valley Elementary School, Shady Cove School has higher science, similar math, and lower ELA while serving a much higher share of low-income students.

Its low-income subgroup is exceptionally strong: 89th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–26, after 92nd percentile in 2024–25 and 72nd in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism fell from 40.8% in 2022–23 to 25.6% in 2024–25, now below both district (33.3%) and state (33.5%). Per-pupil spending was $21,532, the highest in the comparison group, with a 16.2 student-teacher ratio. Keep in mind that Shady Cove School serves K–6 while many nearby schools are K–5 or K–2, and its 183-student size can make year-to-year percentages volatile. The main areas to watch are third-grade ELA and continued attendance progress.
