Middle Schools in Vale School District 84

Summary:

Vale School District 84 in Oregon is home to a single standout middle school, Vale Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state. Despite having a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Vale Middle School has maintained strong academic performance, with test scores that exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Vale Middle School's success is further highlighted by its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its high ranking within the Vale School District 84, which is itself ranked 8th out of 140 school districts in Oregon and rated 5 stars out of 5. The school's high spending per student, at $19,545, and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.2 suggest that the district is investing significant resources to support its students' learning and development.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is an area of concern that the district and school may need to address. Addressing this issue could further enhance the already impressive academic performance of Vale Middle School and ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive in their educational journey.
