Summary:
The city of Culver, Oregon is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Culver Elementary School, Culver High School, and Culver Middle School. These schools, part of the Culver School District 4, serve a diverse student population with a majority white enrollment and a significant Hispanic minority.
Among the standout schools, Culver Elementary School performs above the state average in 5th-grade English Language Arts, while Culver High School outperforms the state in 11th-grade English Language Arts. However, the schools generally struggle with math performance, falling below the state average. Notably, all three schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student across all three schools, the academic results suggest room for improvement in how those resources are utilized. The relatively low student-teacher ratios could be an advantage, but other factors, such as curriculum, teaching methods, and student support, may be playing a role in the schools' performance. As the district works to enhance educational outcomes, further analysis of potential achievement gaps and disparities among the diverse student population could provide valuable insights.
