Summary:
The Myrtle Point School District 41 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Myrtle Crest School, which serves grades K-6 with an enrollment of 321 students. While there are no other schools to directly compare Myrtle Crest School to within the district, the data suggests the school is facing several challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.
Myrtle Crest School's statewide ranking has been declining, dropping from 440 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 530 out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average, which is concerning as chronic absenteeism is linked to lower academic achievement. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, indicating the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Despite the school's academic performance challenges, its per-student spending of $18,196 for the 2022-2023 school year was higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to ensure that funding is being used in the most impactful way to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (71.65%) suggests the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which can present additional challenges in terms of providing resources and support for student learning.
