Lighthouse Charter School, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with the highest test scores across multiple grade levels, significantly outperforming the Coos Bay School District 9 and the state of Oregon. Similarly, Destinations Academy, a public high school, ranks among the top 35% of Oregon high schools and exceeds the district and state in English Language Arts and science proficiency.

The data also reveals significant disparities in funding and student-teacher ratios across the district, with Marshfield Senior High School spending over $23,000 per student, while other schools, such as Marshfield Junior High, Lighthouse Charter School, and Resource Link Charter School, spend only $8,088 per student. These funding disparities may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the district's schools.
