Millicoma School

Millicoma School is an elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Coos Bay, Oregon, with 473 students. The school is part of the Coos Bay School District 9, which is ranked 84 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Millicoma School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, typically receiving a 2-star rating as well.

Millicoma School faces significant challenges, including low test scores, with only 38.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.3% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.0% to 45.8% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and students in the "Multi-racial" and "Gifted and Talented" subgroups performing very poorly.

Compared to nearby schools, Millicoma School's performance is generally lower, with the exception of Lighthouse Charter School, which consistently outperforms Millicoma across a range of metrics, including test scores, student subgroup performance, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in this community. Despite the challenges, Millicoma School's performance in certain areas, such as the relatively strong performance of Hispanic students, suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with targeted interventions and support focused on addressing the specific needs of the school's diverse student population.
