Summary:
The city of Springfield, Oregon is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8: Hamlin Middle School, Thurston Middle School, Agnes Stewart Middle School, and Briggs Middle School. These schools are part of the Springfield School District 19.
Based on the data, Thurston Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the group, with a statewide ranking of 96 out of 368 Oregon middle schools and a 4-star rating. It has significantly higher test scores compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, the other schools are ranked much lower, with Hamlin Middle School ranked 302, Agnes Stewart Middle School ranked 216, and Briggs Middle School ranked 149.
All 4 middle schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.5% to 63.98%. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary across the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation. By addressing these areas of concern and leveraging the strengths of Thurston Middle School, the district can work towards improving educational outcomes for all middle school students in Springfield.
