Summary

Joseph Lane Middle School is a public middle school in Roseburg, Oregon, serving 566 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Douglas County School District 4. The school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency, with 43.6% to 49.2% of students meeting or exceeding standards in ELA and 40% in 8th grade Science, compared to state averages of 41.7% to 41.6% and 27.2%, respectively. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 24.3% to 35.6%, are below the state averages of 29.3% to 28.9%.

Joseph Lane Middle School particularly excels in serving Hispanic and Multi-racial students, ranking in the top quartile of Oregon middle schools for these subgroups. The school also performs well for students with low socioeconomic status and gifted and talented students, but its performance in serving special education students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom third of Oregon middle schools in this category. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.9% to 39.7%, are a concern and may be contributing to its lower Mathematics proficiency.

Compared to nearby schools, John C. Fremont Middle School in the same district generally performs worse than Joseph Lane, while Lincoln Middle School in the Oakland School District outperforms Joseph Lane. Coffenberry Middle School in the South Umpqua School District significantly underperforms Joseph Lane and the state averages across all subject areas.
