Summary:
The Umatilla School District 6R in Oregon has only one middle school, Clara Brownell Middle School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon middle schools over the past three school years. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.3% to 14.7% in ELA and 6.9% to 9.6% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.6% to 44.2% and 28.9% to 31.5%, respectively.
Clara Brownell Middle School serves a high-poverty student population, with 82.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,020 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is above the state average, the academic performance remains significantly below state standards, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices.
The consistently low performance and significant gaps in academic proficiency at Clara Brownell Middle School indicate a persistent challenge in student achievement within the Umatilla School District 6R. This calls for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, support systems, and resource allocation to improve learning outcomes for the students it serves.
