Summary:
Winston-Dillard School District 116 is a small Oregon district with six schools — three elementary, one middle, and two high — serving 1,292 students, and it ranks 129th of 141 in the state (9th percentile, 0 stars). McGovern Elementary School (229 students), Brockway Elementary School (224, PK–2 only) and Lookingglass Elementary School (131) feed Winston Middle School (310), then Douglas High School (357) or the far smaller Dillard Alternative High School (41).
McGovern Elementary School is the clearest bright spot: the district's best current ranking at 451st of 709 (36th percentile, 2 stars), up from the low 20s in earlier years, with the strongest elementary test results and the only all-grade subject above the state average, science at 35.4%. Douglas High School splits sharply — the highest graduation rate (85.1%, above the state's 83.0%) and highest all-grade ELA (36.8%), but the lowest all-grade math in the district at 7.0%, with its rank sliding from the 70th percentile to the 19th in two years. Lookingglass Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism (25.8%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (13.1), yet its science proficiency is under 5% and its rank fell to the 11th percentile.
Dillard Alternative High School faces the most concentrated need: chronic absenteeism of 77.3%, a 65.4% graduation rate, ELA and science under 5%, the highest student-teacher ratio (20.5), and the lowest per-student spending ($15,000). Winston Middle School is persistently low, ranking at the 14th, 11th and 10th percentiles over three years and falling below district and state in ELA, math and science, with 39.9% absenteeism — the highest among non-alternative schools. Brockway Elementary School has no state test scores here, but the highest poverty rate (91.96%) and highest spending ($21,240). Districtwide, math is weakest at 16.6% versus the state's 32.9%, and only Lookingglass is clearly below the state's 33.5% absenteeism rate.
