Summary:
The South Lane School District 45J3 in Oregon is home to two high schools: Cottage Grove High School and Al Kennedy High School. Both schools face significant challenges, with low academic performance and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Cottage Grove High School is ranked 157 out of 268 Oregon high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Al Kennedy High School is ranked 258 out of 268 Oregon high schools and has a 0-star rating, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 64% and 69%, respectively. Despite the lower academic performance, Al Kennedy High School spends more per student than Cottage Grove High School, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources. Additionally, Al Kennedy High School has a lower student-teacher ratio, but this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for its students.
