Summary:
The city of Dayton, Oregon is home to three schools - Dayton Grade School, Dayton High School, and Dayton Junior High School - all of which serve students from the Dayton School District 8. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing well below the state average on various academic metrics.
None of the Dayton schools can be considered standouts, as they all have low statewide rankings, with Dayton Grade School and Dayton Junior High School ranked in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in Oregon. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 74.24% at Dayton Junior High School to 94.12% at Dayton High School, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
The relatively low spending per student, compared to the state average, may be a contributing factor to the schools' poor academic performance. Ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation, as well as targeted interventions and support to help students in underperforming subject areas, will likely be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in the district's educational outcomes.
