Summary:
The Winston-Dillard School District 116 in Oregon is home to two high schools: Douglas High School and Dillard Alternative High School. While Douglas High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it generally outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Dillard Alternative High School consistently ranks among the lowest in the state, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Science compared to the district and state averages.
The data reveals a significant disparity in the performance and rankings of the two high schools. Douglas High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 74.66%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Dillard Alternative High School has an even higher chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 77.78%, suggesting an even greater concentration of economically disadvantaged students.
The difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Douglas High School spending $19,511 per student and Dillard Alternative High School spending $9,916 per student, suggests that resource allocation within the district may not be equitable. This disparity in funding could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by Dillard Alternative High School. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for the Winston-Dillard School District 116 to address the significant disparities in performance between its high schools and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
