Summary:
The city of Roseburg, Oregon is home to two middle schools: John C Fremont Middle School and Joseph Lane Middle School. Both schools serve grades 6-8 and are part of the Douglas County School District 4.
While the two middle schools in Roseburg perform at a similar level, with both ranking in the top half of Oregon middle schools, there are a few notable differences. Joseph Lane Middle School has slightly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, particularly in 8th grade, and also has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to John C Fremont Middle School.
Both schools face common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (34.3%) and serving a predominantly low-income student population, with over 65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes for the students in Roseburg's middle schools.
