Summary:
The Bandon School District 54 in Oregon serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: Ocean Crest Elementary School, Harbor Lights Middle School, and Bandon Senior High School. The district serves a relatively high-need student population, with 63-65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the three schools, Harbor Lights Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top quartile of Oregon middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are above the district and state averages. In contrast, while Ocean Crest Elementary School has shown solid performance with 3-4 star ratings, its test scores in 4th grade Math and English Language Arts lag behind the state averages, suggesting an opportunity for improvement.
Across the district, all three schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, which is an area of concern that the district should address. Additionally, while the schools generally perform well in English Language Arts, their math scores lag behind the state averages, indicating a need to focus on improving student outcomes in this subject area.
