Summary:
The South Umpqua School District 19 in Oregon has only one middle school, Coffenberry Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The data suggests that Coffenberry Middle School is a low-performing school with significant challenges, including consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Coffenberry Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade, the school's proficiency rates are only 5.3% in English Language Arts and 5.3% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41.6% and 27.2%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is even more concerning, with proficiency rates ranging from 5.5% to 11.8% across the different grade levels, compared to the state averages of 28.9% to 31.5%.
Additionally, Coffenberry Middle School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is a significant concern and may be contributing to the low academic performance. The school also has a high percentage of students (69.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $20,061, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes.
