Summary:
Amity School District 4J in Oregon has only one middle school, Amity Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The data analysis reveals that this school is consistently underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Amity Middle School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in state assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 30.4% to 50% in ELA and 8.2% to 30.4% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.6% to 44.2% and 28.9% to 31.5%, respectively. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate was also well below the state average, at 15.7% compared to 27.2%.
Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending of $18,035 for the 2022-2023 school year is relatively high compared to the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 51.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the academic challenges faced by its students.
