Glide School District 12

The Glide School District 12 in Oregon consists of three schools: Glide Elementary School, Glide High School, and Glide Middle School. The district faces significant challenges, with all three schools performing below the state average on standardized tests and exhibiting high chronic absenteeism rates.

None of the Glide schools stand out as clear performers, with all three ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Oregon. The test scores at Glide schools are generally below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and the chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 34.3%, are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Glide High School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Glide schools, which is above the state average, the low academic performance raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need to evaluate how funds are being utilized to support student learning. The data suggests a systemic issue that requires a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and practices to identify opportunities for improvement and address the underlying challenges facing the Glide School District 12.
