Illinois Valley High School is a public high school in Cave Junction, Oregon, United States.

Academics

In 2008, 72% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 118 students, 85 graduated, 25 dropped out, one received a modified diploma, and seven were still in high school the following year.[3][4]

In October 2009 the school was removed from the No Child Left Behind safety watch list, due to the following not occurring: "more than 1 percent of their students brought a weapon to school, were expelled for violence or committed a violent crime on campus."[5][6]

Athletics

Illinois Valley's high school athletic program began around the time the school did. The mascot is the Cougar and the team colors are red and white.

The school is a member in good standing of the Oregon School Activities Association, and participates in the Southern Cascade League. All teams currently play in Class 3A, based on school enrollment.
