Oregon Middle School

Summary:

Oregon Middle School is a public middle school located in Medford, NY, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 592 students. The school is part of the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District, which is ranked 720 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oregon Middle School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state and district averages. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 27.45% to 43.48% in ELA and 10.78% to 38.89% in math. However, the school's performance on Regents exams, such as Earth Science and Algebra I, is strong, with 100% proficiency rates. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (53.72%) and the varying performance across different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as South Ocean Middle School and Saxton Middle School, have similar academic performance and demographic profiles to Oregon Middle School. However, some higher-performing schools, like Sayville Middle School and James Wilson Young Middle School, are located within a reasonable distance and have significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments and serve a more affluent student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
