Myrtle Point High School

Myrtle Point is a small timber-and-farming town tucked along the Coquille River in the heart of Coos County, and the high school here reflects that tight-knit, rural character. Academics are a work in progress — math scores in particular lag behind state averages — making this a better fit for families who prioritize community connection and small-town relationships over competitive college-prep rankings. For those rooted in the area or drawn to the quieter pace of Southern Oregon's coast range, it's a school where teachers know your kid by name and Friday night games still matter to the whole town.
