Summary

Coffenberry Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 267 students in the small southern Oregon town of Myrtle Creek, part of South Umpqua School District 19. It ranks 340th of 371 Oregon schools (8th percentile) with a 0-star rating in 2025–2026, well below its own district's 32nd-percentile standing. Proficiency is low in every tested subject: 21.0% in English language arts, 13.1% in math, and 16.3% in science, against state averages of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Math is the deepest gap, and 6th-grade math is especially weak at 9.3%.

The most striking comparison is with two Roseburg schools, Joseph Lane Middle School and John C Fremont Middle School, both in Douglas County School District 4. They serve nearly identical poverty levels (about 83.5% free/reduced lunch) with similar spending and class sizes, yet their ELA proficiency is roughly double Coffenberry's (40.7%–42.1% vs. 21.0%) and their math more than twice as high (30.3%–30.7% vs. 13.1%). Winston Middle School ranks slightly higher overall at 333rd. Chronic absenteeism at Coffenberry is 42.9% — about two in five students — the highest among these schools and 9.4 points above the state, and it has topped 40% in four of the last five years. Eighth-grade exit results are also concerning: 15.2% in ELA, 11.5% in math, and 16.3% in science.

Most student groups rank in the bottom decile. Special education is a bright spot at 71st percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, though it was 7th percentile the year before, so the pattern is not yet consistent. Results for the school's Hispanic students moved from 91st percentile in 2018–19 to 5th percentile in 2025–26, and low-income students sit at the 16th percentile. The school has edged up from 2nd percentile in 2022–23 to 8th percentile in 2025–26, but with 0 stars and results far below state averages, there is no sustained recovery yet. Attendance, core instruction (especially math), and targeted subgroup support appear to be the most important levers.
