Summary:
The 97532 zip code area has only one public high school, Southern Oregon Success Academy, which serves grades 6-12 and has an enrollment of 252 students. The school is part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Southern Oregon Success Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon high schools over the past 3 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19% of 11th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 48.7% for the district and 45.2% for the state. The school's science proficiency rate for 11th graders was also low at 14.3%, compared to 37.3% for the district and 32% for the state.
The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $6,731, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2022-2023 school year was 50.4, which is significantly higher than the typical recommended ratio. These factors, along with the school's low academic performance, suggest that Southern Oregon Success Academy may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Without any other schools in the 97532 zip code to compare against, it is difficult to determine if the issues at this school are unique or more widespread in the local area.
