Summary:
The city of Hines, Oregon has only one public middle school, Hines Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 164 students. The school is part of the Harney County School District 3, which is ranked 112 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hines Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools, with a ranking of 312 out of 371 in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Additionally, nearly half (49.39%) of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a higher per-student spending of $18,460 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.9 compared to the state average. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. The data indicates that Hines Middle School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the district and school leaders may need to implement more targeted and effective strategies to support student success.
