A common challenge across all the schools in the district is the high free/reduced lunch rate, ranging from 67.54% to 67.78%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The district also spends relatively high amounts per student, ranging from $19,835 to $22,295, but the academic performance suggests these resources may not be effectively utilized. Overall, the Siuslaw School District and its schools face significant challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors, presenting opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to better support student success.
