Summary

Evergreen Elementary School is a K–4 school in Cave Junction, OR, serving 378 students in the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District.

The headline is that the school is currently well below district and state averages. Its 2025–2026 rank is 581st of 709 Oregon schools (18th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 52nd percentile (3 stars). The school has declined over the past decade, from around the 44th percentile with 2 stars in 2014–2016 to 18th percentile with 1 star. In 2025–2026, 25.2% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared with 40.2% in the district and 43.8% statewide; math proficiency was 26.8%, compared with 29.0% district and 32.9% state. Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge: 47.6% in 2024–2025, versus 37.6% district and 33.5% state. The school spends $18,046 per student and has improved its student–teacher ratio to 18.9:1 from 22.6:1.

Nearby comparisons are useful. Williams Elementary School is much smaller but far stronger overall: 73rd percentile, 4 stars, and 55.9% proficient in both ELA and math. Madrona Elementary School also outperforms the school in both subjects and has much lower chronic absenteeism (32.7%). Woodland Charter School has a similar overall rank (19th percentile, 1 star) but spends far less ($8,664), has higher ELA proficiency, and much lower math proficiency. The school’s 3rd grade is a critical weak spot (20.0% ELA, 18.5% math), while 4th-grade math (34.2%) is a relative bright spot. Resources and class size alone do not appear to explain the outcome differences. Some student groups, including low-income students, have shown stronger rankings than the school overall, but results vary and should be interpreted carefully.

I went there for 1st 2nd and 3rd grade and I'm now in 7th and i ALWAYS remember the awesome times I had while I was at that school I think it should have a WAY better rating than what it has. I know not all the teachers' aren't perfect but that shouldn't matter if you are having fun whilst learning! The only bad thing that I can say about that elementary school is that they once missed a few lice in my hair but then they corrected themselves. Either way, this school is SUCH a good school, if you are reading this I hope you consider sending you or your child here or even recommend it to a friend! Close Quote
