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 their high school diploma. Of 118 students, 85 graduated, 25 dropped out, 1 received a modified diploma, and 7 are still in high school.[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 known as the "Cougars" and the team colors are red and white.

They are a member in good standing of the Oregon School Activities Association and participate in the Southern Cascade League. All teams currently play in Class 3A based on school enrollment.
