Summary:
Dallas School District 2 is a mid-sized Oregon district serving roughly 2,953 students at seven schools — four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative K–12 school — and it ranks 60th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 57th percentile with 3 stars. Because the schools span very different grade levels, from K–3 elementaries to a comprehensive high school, All-Grades test results mean different things at each campus: at Dallas High School they reflect mainly 11th grade, while at Lyle Elementary School and Oakdale Heights Elementary School they reflect mainly 3rd grade.
The clearest standout is Luckiamute Valley Charter School, ranked 99th of 709 Oregon schools (86th percentile) with 4 stars and a three-year climb from the 61st percentile. It leads the district in every subject — ELA 60.3%, math 52.9%, and science 53.7% — far above the district (34.2%, 25.8%, 28.3%) and the state (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%). Dallas Community Charter is a strong second on attendance and literacy: a 100.0% graduation rate, 10.0% chronic absenteeism, and ELA 46.7%, though its math is weak at 15.0%.
At the other end, Dallas High School — the largest school, with 948 students — ranks 226th of 271 (17th percentile, 1 star) with ELA 20.4%, math 11.6%, science 26.2%, and chronic absenteeism of 37.5%. LaCreole Middle School has the district's highest absenteeism at 38.1%. Lyle Elementary and Oakdale Heights, both K–3, post low ELA (20.0% and 22.7%) despite the district's highest per-student spending ($19,859 and $19,175). District math is 25.8%, below state 32.9%, making math the clearest system-wide weakness.
