Summary:
Bandon School District 54 has a single middle school, Harbor Lights Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and has a student population of 207. The school has a predominantly white student body, with 74.88% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 65.22%, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population.
Academically, Harbor Lights Middle School performs well in some subject areas, such as 7th grade math and 5th grade science, where proficiency rates exceed district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in other areas, particularly 8th grade math and science, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in these weaker areas. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,645 and low student-teacher ratio of 17.3 indicate that it has access to significant resources, but the uneven academic performance across subject areas and grade levels suggests that the allocation and utilization of these resources may need to be evaluated.
Overall, Bandon School District 54 has a single middle school that serves a diverse student population with varying academic needs. While Harbor Lights Middle School performs well in some areas, there is room for improvement, particularly in mathematics and science. By closely examining the factors that contribute to the school's relative strengths and weaknesses and developing targeted strategies to address these areas, school leaders and district administrators can work to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for the students of Bandon School District 54.
