Understanding the 1/10 Rating
With a rating of 1/10 (low-rated), South Umpqua School District 19 ranks among Oregon’s low-rated-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
