Summary:
The Winston-Dillard School District 116 in Oregon has only one middle school, Winston Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance is concerning, as it is ranked 328 out of 368 Oregon middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Winston Middle School faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages, with only 11.4% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, 73.7% of students at the school were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $17,597 in the 2022-2023 school year, its performance remains poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes. The school's challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, may be contributing to its consistently low academic performance.
