Summary:
The city of Chiloquin, Oregon is home to two schools - Chiloquin Elementary School and Chiloquin High School, both part of the Klamath County School District. While Chiloquin Elementary School has struggled with low test scores and a low statewide ranking, Chiloquin High School has shown significant improvement in recent years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Chiloquin High School has outperformed the district and state in several key test score metrics, including English Language Arts and Science for 11th grade students. In the 2023-2024 school year, the high school ranked 30th out of 268 Oregon high schools, a significant jump from its previous rankings. In contrast, Chiloquin Elementary School has low test scores, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in most grade levels and subject areas. The elementary school also has a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 75.66%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.
The data also reveals a significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Chiloquin High School spending $35,967 per student compared to $17,347 per student at Chiloquin Elementary School. This funding gap may be contributing to the performance differences between the two schools.

The success of Chiloquin High School could provide valuable insights and strategies that could be applied at the elementary level to help improve outcomes for the younger students.
