Summary:
The Dayton School District 8 in Oregon consists of three schools: Dayton Grade School, Dayton High School, and Dayton Junior High School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school grades, but based on the available data, none of them appear to be performing at a high level compared to state-wide metrics.
Across all three schools, test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 34.3% at all three schools. Additionally, the schools have very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 78.8% at Dayton Junior High to 96.8% at Dayton High School. These factors suggest that the Dayton School District 8 is facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
The schools' statewide rankings have also been declining over the past three years, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Oregon and earning 0-1 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate potential resource allocation challenges or imbalances within the district. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the Dayton School District 8, and addressing the underlying issues should be a top priority for the district's leadership.
