Summary:
ZIP code 97470, covering the Roseburg area of Douglas County, Oregon, is home to two high schools: Roseburg High School, a large comprehensive school serving grades 9–12 with 1,587 students, and Horizons - Foster Educational Program, a very small program serving grades 6–12 with 11 students — 1,598 students combined.
Roseburg High School, part of Douglas County School District 4, is the only school here with enough data to evaluate, and it is a steady 4-star school. In 2025–2026 it ranked 79 of 271 Oregon high schools, or the 71st percentile — a slight dip from 59 of 270 the year before, but still strong. English language arts is a clear strength at 59.7% proficiency versus 43.8% statewide. Science also beats the state, 39.4% versus 30.6%, and the 85.5% graduation rate tops the state's 83.0%. Math is the weak spot: 26.4% proficiency, below the district's 32.7% and the state's 32.9%, though Roseburg's 11th-grade math rate of 26.4% is above the state's 11th-grade 22.9%. Chronic absenteeism is 39.1%, higher than the district's 35.8% and the state's 33.5%. The school serves a high-poverty population — 81.41% qualify for free/reduced lunch — with per-student spending of $18,647.
Horizons - Foster Educational Program, run by Douglas Education Service District, is entirely different in scale: 11 students with a student-teacher ratio of 2.7, compared with Roseburg's 19.9. It reports no ranking, graduation, absenteeism, or test-score data here, so its academic performance cannot be compared, and its free/reduced lunch figure is unknown rather than zero. In short, families here are choosing between a large, higher-poverty comprehensive high school with solid ELA, science, and graduation results, and a very small specialized program with little available outcome data.
