Summary:
The city of Yoncalla, Oregon is home to two schools: Yoncalla Elementary School and Yoncalla High School, both part of the Yoncalla School District 32. These schools serve a student population with high rates of poverty, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Yoncalla Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Oregon elementary schools over the past 3 years, with concerning test scores well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%. In contrast, Yoncalla High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from the top 25% to the bottom 25% of Oregon high schools over the same period. While the high school's 11th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts are closer to the state average, its Science proficiency rates are still below average.
Both Yoncalla Elementary School and Yoncalla High School have alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3%, which may be a contributing factor to their academic challenges. Additionally, the schools serve student populations with extremely high rates of poverty, with 72.73% of Yoncalla Elementary School students and 100% of Yoncalla High School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the root causes of the schools' performance issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in Yoncalla.
