Summary:
The city of Aurora, Oregon is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the North Marion School District 15. However, the district as a whole is underperforming, ranking 122 out of 140 school districts in the state and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Across the 4 North Marion schools - North Marion High School, North Marion Middle School, North Marion Intermediate School, and North Marion Primary School - the data reveals consistently low performance across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, all of which fall significantly below state averages. For example, only 39.3% of 11th-graders at the high school were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.4%.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average spending per student, the North Marion schools are struggling to provide a quality education. This may be due in part to the high rates of economic disadvantage, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the district. The data suggests the need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the district's underperformance and support the specific needs of its student population.
