Summary

Kalmiopsis Community Arts High School is a small public charter high school in Cave Junction, Oregon, serving just 32 students in grades 9-12. Despite its focus on community arts, the school has consistently underperformed compared to nearby public high schools, ranking 265 out of 270 Oregon high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key issue at Kalmiopsis Community Arts High School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.7% to 39.8% over the past few school years. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of the nearby Hidden Valley High School (34.3%) and Illinois Valley High School (34.3%). The school's academic performance also lags behind, with only 16.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 30.8% in the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District and 44.4% statewide. In Science, the proficiency rate was just 7.7%, compared to 23% in the district and 32.6% statewide.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, which is much lower than the nearby public high schools, Kalmiopsis Community Arts High School's academic performance data does not reflect the potential benefits of this more personalized learning environment. The school's proximity to the higher-performing Illinois Valley High School, just 0.76 miles away, also highlights the challenges Kalmiopsis faces in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes should be the school's top priorities as it works to better serve its community.
