Summary:
The city of Dallas, Oregon is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative public charter school. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with student performance generally lagging behind state averages, particularly in math.
The standout school in the district is Dallas Community Charter, an alternative public charter school that has some of the highest test scores in the district, especially in English Language Arts. However, the school struggles more with math proficiency. Another high-performing school is Whitworth Elementary, which has relatively strong test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates at Dallas High School, high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, and test scores that are generally below state averages, particularly in math. The high free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary and middle schools also indicate high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the lower academic performance. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach by the Dallas School District 2.
