Summary:
Dallas, Oregon has six schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade, all within Dallas School District 2, which is ranked 60th of 141 Oregon districts (57th percentile) with 3 stars. The mix includes three elementary schools — Lyle Elementary School (K–3), Oakdale Heights Elementary School (K–3), and Whitworth Elementary School (4–5) — plus LaCreole Middle School (6–8), Dallas High School (9–12), and Dallas Community Charter (K–12). Total enrollment is 2,740 students.
Dallas Community Charter is the most distinctive: a 100.0% graduation rate (above the district's 86.8% and the state's 83.0%), the lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.0% (district 32.0%, state 33.5%), and strong ELA (46.7%) and science (33.9%). Its math, however, is only 15.0%. Dallas High School is the largest at 948 students, has the highest student-teacher ratio at 24.8, chronic absenteeism of 37.5%, and low proficiency (ELA 20.4%, math 11.6%), with a rank percentile of 17 and 1 star. Among traditional elementaries, Whitworth Elementary School leads with 30.5% math and 29.5% science, and the lowest absenteeism of that group at 28.0%.
Math is a district-wide weak point: no school here reaches the state's 32.9%, with Whitworth closest at 30.5%. LaCreole Middle School has the highest absenteeism at 38.1%. Lyle Elementary School and Oakdale Heights Elementary School are similar in size and demographics, though Oakdale's early-grade results are slightly stronger. Notably, higher spending does not track simply with higher scores: Lyle spends the most ($19,859 per student) yet posts the lowest all-grade ELA (20.0%). The charter's free/reduced-lunch rate is unknown in this data, not zero.
