Summary:
The Redmond School District 2J in Oregon serves 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Tumalo Community School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to meet state and district averages.
Among the high-performing schools, Sage Elementary School and Redmond Proficiency Academy stand out, with exceptional test scores and proficiency rates that exceed district and state levels. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and significant disparities in academic achievement between the highest and lowest-performing schools.
The data also reveals that per-student spending does not necessarily correlate with academic performance, as some of the top-performing schools, like Tumalo Community School, have relatively lower funding levels. Additionally, schools with higher percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Hugh Hartman Elementary, tend to have lower academic outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by high-poverty student populations.
