Summary:
The city of White City, Oregon has only one middle school, White Mountain Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools over the past three years, with its students scoring significantly below district and state averages on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
White Mountain Middle School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (74.23% in 2023-2024) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the same school year. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($15,209) and low student-teacher ratio (17:1), its academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for its students.
Compared to the Eagle Point School District 9 and the state of Oregon as a whole, White Mountain Middle School's performance is significantly below average, ranking 340th out of 368 Oregon middle schools in 2024-2025, 334th out of 371 in 2023-2024, and 343rd out of 380 in 2022-2023. This indicates that the school is struggling to provide its students with the necessary educational resources and support to achieve proficiency.
