Summary

Cottage Grove High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in the rural community of Cottage Grove, Oregon, south of Eugene, with 640 students in South Lane School District 45J3. In 2025–2026, it ranked 260th of 271 Oregon high schools (4th percentile, 0 stars)—a dramatic drop from its earlier top-quartile years. For local context, South Eugene High School ranked 23rd, Creswell High School 152nd, and Pleasant Hill High School 268th, so Cottage Grove is near the bottom statewide but not alone among nearby rural/outer-Eugene schools.

Academically, 2025–2026 proficiency is low: English language arts 20.3%, math 9.4%, and science 6.3%, compared with district rates of 32.9%, 24.7%, and 16.5%, and state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Science is the clearest weakness. Eleventh-grade math (9.4%) is slightly above the district’s 11th-grade average (7.9%) but far below the state’s 22.9%. The closest peer, Creswell High School, has a similar graduation rate and attendance but much higher proficiency—ELA 48%, math 13.7%, science 31%—and spends more per student ($26,221 vs. $21,063) with a lower student-teacher ratio (16.8 vs. 19.3).

Attendance and completion are relative strengths. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 85.8%, above the district’s 76.2% and the state’s 83.0%, and chronic absenteeism was 27.6%, below the state’s 33.5% and better than many nearby schools, including South Eugene High School (41.0%) and Pleasant Hill High School (34.4%). Per-student spending was $21,063, and the student-teacher ratio was 19.3, higher than most small nearby schools. Overall, Cottage Grove shows a split profile: solid attendance and graduation indicators, but very low statewide rank and proficiency, with science as the most urgent academic concern.
