Summary:
The Bethel School District 52 in Oregon is home to two middle schools: Shasta Middle School and Cascade Middle School. Both schools serve grades 6-8 and have similar performance metrics, with neither standing out as a clear top performer in the district.
According to the data, both Shasta Middle School and Cascade Middle School have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools over the past three school years, with 1-star ratings from the School Digger ranking system. Additionally, both schools have significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, at 34.3%, compared to the state average. In terms of academic achievement, the proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for both schools are lower than the Bethel School District 52 and Oregon state averages.
The data also reveals that both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the schools are still underperforming, suggesting potential inefficiencies in resource allocation. The district may need to focus on addressing the challenges faced by these middle schools, such as improving attendance, academic performance, and effectively utilizing available funding to support student success.
