Summary

Coffenberry Middle School is a public middle school located in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 285 students. The school is part of the South Umpqua School District 19, which is ranked 126 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coffenberry Middle School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.1% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 45.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests varies greatly across different student subgroups, with the school's rankings for some subgroups, such as White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students, consistently in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools, such as Joseph Lane Middle School and John C Fremont Middle School, which are part of the Douglas County School District 4, consistently outperform Coffenberry Middle School in academic achievement, attendance, and other key metrics. This highlights the significant disparity in educational opportunities and outcomes between Coffenberry and its neighboring schools. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, low socioeconomic status of the student population, and the school's overall low performance suggest that Coffenberry Middle School may be facing a combination of challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying issues and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.
