Summary

Hines Middle School is a public middle school in Hines, Oregon, serving 163 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Harney County School District 3, which is ranked 125 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hines Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing well below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 8.6% to 16.7%, compared to the state averages of 41.6% to 44.2%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.9% to 40.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 46.63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $18,460 in 2021-2022 to $20,516 in 2022-2023, the academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges. The data indicates that Hines Middle School would benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population, such as high chronic absenteeism and low socioeconomic status, in order to improve academic performance.
