Eagle Point School District 9

The Eagle Point School District 9 in Oregon consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole struggles academically, ranking 110 out of 140 districts in the state, a few standout schools demonstrate strong performance.

Eagle Rock Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with over 50% of 4th and 5th graders proficient or better.

As an alternative public charter school, Crater Lake Academy also stands out, with 46.4% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA, outperforming the district and state averages.

However, the district faces significant challenges, with many schools having high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Additionally, there is a wide range in per-student spending, from $6,431 at Crater Lake Academy to $20,672 at Lake Creek Learning Center, raising questions about funding equity within the district. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of the high-performing schools, as well as addressing the disparities across the district, could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the Eagle Point School District 9.
