Summary

Culver Middle School is a public middle school in Culver, Oregon, serving 168 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Culver School District 4, which is ranked 98 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Culver Middle School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with the school performing better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) but significantly lower in math and science, particularly in 7th and 8th grade math. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.4% to 38.1%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 68.79% to 69.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite spending more per student ($18,630 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby Obsidian Middle School ($14,526) and Elton Gregory Middle School ($14,125), Culver Middle School's academic performance is not significantly better, suggesting the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to support student learning. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 16.4 students per teacher, is a strength, but the school will need to address its key challenges, such as inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, to improve overall student outcomes.
