Summary:
The city of Gold Beach, Oregon is home to two schools - Riley Creek Elementary School and Gold Beach High School. While Central Curry School District 1 serves both schools, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the elementary and high school.
Gold Beach High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 4th out of 258 Oregon high schools and earning a 5-star rating. The school's 11th grade test scores far exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In contrast, Riley Creek Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking decline, with test scores generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels.
Factors such as socioeconomic status, funding, and enrollment patterns may contribute to the performance differences between the two schools. Gold Beach High School has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and higher spending per student compared to Riley Creek Elementary. Addressing the specific challenges faced by the elementary school could lead to improved outcomes for its students and help ensure equitable educational opportunities across the district.
