Summary:
The 97411 zip code in Oregon is home to a single middle school, Harbor Lights Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Bandon School District 54. While the district is highly ranked, with a 4-star rating, Harbor Lights Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 68th out of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2023-2024 to 174th out of 380 in 2022-2023, with its current 2024-2025 ranking at 90th out of 368.
Harbor Lights Middle School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 5th-8th grade scores ranging from 40% to 61.3% proficient or better in 2024-2025. However, the school lags behind the state average in Mathematics proficiency, with 5th-8th grade scores ranging from 22.5% to 39.5% proficient or better. The school also faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to its fluctuating performance rankings.
Despite these challenges, Harbor Lights Middle School is investing resources to support its student population, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1 and spending $18,407 per student, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, a significant portion (63.13%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing attendance issues and improving mathematics instruction could be key priorities for the school and district to help Harbor Lights Middle School reach its full potential.
