Summary:
The city of White City, Oregon is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Table Rock Elementary and Kids Unlimited Academy White City) and 1 middle school (White Mountain Middle School) - all part of the Eagle Point School District 9. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
While there are no clear standout schools, Kids Unlimited Academy White City stands out as an interesting public charter school serving grades K-2 with a much smaller student population of 98 compared to the 705 students at Table Rock Elementary. Kids Unlimited also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1 versus 14.7:1 at Table Rock. However, Kids Unlimited has an extremely high free and reduced lunch rate of 112.24%, suggesting it serves a predominantly low-income student population.
Across the schools, standardized test scores are low, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.6% to 28.2% in English Language Arts and 6.5% to 10.8% in Mathematics - significantly below state and district averages. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, around 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year. The schools in White City face systemic challenges that will require a multi-faceted approach to address the needs of their students and community.
