Medford School District (549C) is a school district in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the largest school district of southern Oregon. The district is bordered directly to the north by the Central Point School District. (Other nearby districts include the Ashland School District, Grants Pass School District, and Klamath Falls City School District). Today, district 549C encompasses 14 primary schools, two secondary schools, and three high schools in three cities: Medford, Jacksonville, and Ruch. As of 2012, district enrollment stood at 13,177 students.
The Medford School District passed a school bond in November 2006 that collected $189 million to completely rebuild South Medford High School and Lone Pine Elementary School. Major remodeling was done to North Medford High School. All schools will receive a part of the bond money. Construction has started and been completed on some of the schools. Wednesday, September 9, 2010 marked the first full day of class for all students at the new South Medford High School on Cunningham Avenue. The same day marked the re-opening of the remodeled North Medford High School for all students.
In the 2009 school year, the district had 1126 students classified as homeless by the Department of Education, or 9.2% of students in the district.
Medford's secondary schools offer education services to students of grade level 7 and 8.
Hedrick Middle School, built in 1955, is one of the two middle schools located in Medford, and with 955 students, the largest middle school in Oregon. The grade levels taught at Hedrick are 7th and 8th.
