Summary:
The city of Gilchrist, Oregon is home to two schools: Gilchrist Elementary School and Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Klamath County School District. While the high school has a stronger performance, with a higher statewide ranking and better English Language Arts proficiency, the elementary school has shown improvement in recent years.
Gilchrist Junior/Senior High School stands out for its higher statewide ranking and 60% proficiency in 11th-grade English Language Arts, significantly exceeding district and state averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency lags behind. In contrast, Gilchrist Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking improve, and its 5th and 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates have also shown progress, though the school still trails district and state averages in many areas.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The higher per-student spending at the high school suggests a greater focus on addressing these challenges and supporting student success. Overall, the data paints a mixed picture, with the high school's stronger performance balanced by the elementary school's gradual improvement and the community's socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning and achievement.
