Summary:
The city of Boardman, Oregon is home to three public schools - one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school - all part of the Morrow School District 1. While the schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the academic performance across the district appears to be consistently below state averages.
None of the Boardman schools stand out as clear academic performers, with all three schools reporting proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that lag behind district and state levels. For example, Riverside Junior/Senior High School had a 35.7% proficiency rate in 11th grade English Language Arts, compared to 44.2% for the district and 44.4% for the state. Similarly, in 7th grade Mathematics, Riverside Junior/Senior High School had a 10.2% proficiency rate, compared to 17.9% for the district and 31.5% for the state. Additionally, the schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $16,898 at Riverside Junior/Senior High School to $20,149 at Sam Boardman Elementary School, the Boardman schools appear to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Addressing the low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantages of the student population will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for the Boardman community.
