Summary:
Dayton School District 8 in Oregon has only one middle school, Dayton Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 5% to 23.9%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, indicating potential issues with student engagement and well-being.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $15,283, the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest that the funding may not be effectively allocated or utilized to address the specific needs of the student population. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 78.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be contributing to the low academic achievement.
Overall, Dayton School District 8 appears to have significant challenges in providing a high-quality education at the middle school level. Dayton Junior High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Oregon, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
