Summary

Rogue River Elementary School is a K–6 public school with 388 students in the small southern Oregon town of Rogue River, part of Rogue River School District 35, which ranks 59th of 141 Oregon districts. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 454th of 709 Oregon elementary schools, placing it in the 36th percentile with 2 stars — below the state median and below its own district's percentile. It serves a high-poverty population: 93.04% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Compared with nearby schools, Rogue River is poorer than most elementary schools in Grants Pass School District 7, but similar to several Three Rivers/Josephine County School District peers such as Madrona Elementary School, Fruitdale Elementary School, and Patrick Elementary School. Resources do not appear to be the main obstacle: per-student spending was $20,192 in 2024–2025, mid-to-high among nearby schools, and the 17.1:1 student-teacher ratio is moderate. The starkest difference is attendance — 41.4% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, above the district (31.5%) and state (33.5%), and higher than every nearby school except Woodland Charter School (52.1%). Achievement is middling rather than bottom-tier: 40% of students met grade level in English language arts, above Woodland (29.8%) and Patrick (28.4%) but below most Grants Pass schools, while math (26.2%) and science (21.9%) lag most nearby schools.

There are real bright spots. The school ranks at the 76th percentile for how well it serves low-income students and the 56th percentile for special education students, and 4th grade English language arts is a standout at 53.1% proficiency, above both district and state. Fifth grade is the clear weak spot across subjects, and math and science remain below state averages. Overall, this is a high-poverty school with moderate resources, unusually high absenteeism, and a modest recovery from lower rankings in earlier years — a school where attendance and fifth-grade support look like the highest-leverage areas for parents to watch.
