Summary:
Lake County School District 7 in Oregon has only one middle school, Daly Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 211 out of 380 Oregon middle schools in 2022-2023 to 272 out of 368 in 2024-2025, earning a rating of just 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Daly Middle School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate at the school was just 28.3%, compared to the state average of 44.2%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.8% in 2023-2024, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.6 in 2023-2024 is also relatively high, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
Despite the Lake County School District 7 spending $16,315 per student in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, the academic performance of Daly Middle School has not improved. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
