Summary
Chiloquin Elementary School in Chiloquin, OR, is a public school serving grades K–6 with 227 students, in a rural part of southern Oregon where there are no other schools within 20 miles — so the Klamath County School District and the state are the closest comparisons available. The school has generally ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon schools: in 2025–2026 it placed 575th of 709 (19th percentile, 1 star), up from 646th of 710 (9th percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024. Its best recent year was 2017–2018, at 495th of 709 (30th percentile, 2 stars). The district ranks 78th of 141 districts in Oregon (45th percentile, 2 stars).
Proficiency is below both district and state in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, 24.0% of students met standards in English language arts (district 41.1%, state 43.8%), 23.3% in math (district 28.3%, state 32.9%), and 25.9% in science (district 28.5%, state 30.6%). The ELA gap is the largest. Results vary widely by grade: 5th grade ELA and math are both 14.8%, and 3rd grade math is 18.9%, about 25 points below the district. Bright spots include 6th grade math at 33.3%, above both district and state, and 5th grade science at 25.9%, above the district.
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern. In 2023–2024, 22.3% of students were chronically absent — better than district and state — but that rose to 37.8% in 2024–2025, above the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.5%. Economic need is very high: 91.63% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, up from 75.45% the year before. Per-student spending rose from $17,347 in 2021–2022 to $24,680 in 2024–2025, while the student-teacher ratio improved from 17.0 to 14.4, so class size alone doesn't explain the outcomes. Low-income students have ranked around the 32nd percentile and special education students around the 30th. The clearest priorities are regular attendance and targeted help in early math and 5th grade literacy and math.
