STEM Manufacturing by Design is an innovative project that was selected to receive a Career and Technical Education Revitalization grant. The project includes a Mobile Class lab filled with equipment that will allow high school students and staff to work collaboratively with middle schools to engage middle school students in various STEM activities as they relate to high school pathways.
School and district report cards are now available. Each of our schools and the district have a report card with information including student demographics, performance on state assessments, student outcomes and educational programs. Like last year, schools did not receive an overall rating on their report card due to the state’s plans to redesign the report card in response to new flexibility under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Next year, ODE will release a redesigned report card aimed at sharing information that is meaningful and accessible to parents, families and the broader school community.

Grants Pass, OR — Grants Pass School District is one of four districts in Oregon and 433 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 7th Annual AP® District Honor Roll. To be included on the 7th Annual Honor Roll, Grants Pass School District had to, since 2014, increase the number of students participating in AP while also increasing or maintaining the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher. Reaching these goals shows that this district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for AP.
