Summary:
The 97532 zip code is home to a single public high school, Southern Oregon Success Academy, which serves grades 6-12. As part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District, the school has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on academic measures, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools over the past three years.
Southern Oregon Success Academy's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state, with only 19% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 48.7% for the district and 45.2% for the state. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 50.4, well above the district and state averages. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 9.92%.
The consistently low academic performance of Southern Oregon Success Academy is a significant concern, and further investigation would be necessary to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. While the school's per-student spending is lower than the state average, the high student-teacher ratio may be a contributing factor to the school's struggles, indicating a lack of individualized attention and support for students.
