Three Jackson County schools rated 'needs improvement'

State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo released the latest batch of report cards for Oregon schools, with 95 percent of them getting rated as "satisfactory" or "outstanding."

The other 5 percent were deemed in need of improvement.

That group of 61 schools includes Armadillo Technical Institute, a charter school in the Phoenix-Talent district; Crater Academy of Natural Sciences at Crater High School in Central Point; and Eagle Point High School.

The only consequence a school faces for its poor 2008-2009 rating is that a copy of the report card will be sent home to parents.

Under federal ratings, schools that serve a large percentage of low-income students must offer their students transfers or tutoring if they consistently fail to meet performance targets.
