Summary:
The Rogue River, Oregon school district consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 65.55% at the high school to 92.68% at the elementary school.
Among the standout schools in the district is Rivers Edge Academy Charter School, which outperforms the district and state averages on test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 60% of 8th graders at Rivers Edge were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to just 24.3% in the Rogue River School District 35 and 40.6% statewide. The district's Rogue River Junior/Senior High also performs relatively well, ranking in the top 40% of Oregon high schools.
However, the district as a whole lags the state averages on test scores, particularly in math, with only 11.9% of 6th graders at Rogue River Elementary School proficient in 2023-2024 compared to 28.4% statewide. The wide variation in per-student spending, from $6,432 at Rivers Edge Academy to $19,653 at the high school, also raises questions about funding equity within the district.
