Summary:
The city of Marcola, Oregon is home to two schools: Marcola Elementary School and Mohawk High School, both part of the Marcola School District 79J. While Mohawk High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, both schools face challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and have relatively high rates of students from low-income families.
Marcola Elementary School is ranked 485 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is generally below the district and state averages in standardized test scores, especially in mathematics. In contrast, Mohawk High School is ranked 168 out of 258 Oregon high schools and has a 2-star rating, but it performs better than the district and state in 11th-grade English Language Arts, though still significantly below in 11th-grade Mathematics.
Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and high school may suggest a need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources within the district to ensure that all students have access to the necessary support and resources. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Marcola School District to address the identified challenges and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of academic achievement and equity.
