Summary:
The city of Merrill, Oregon is home to two schools - Lost River High School and Merrill Elementary School. Both schools serve a community with high poverty levels, as indicated by their high free and reduced lunch rates. While the schools have some areas of strength, they also face challenges in improving student performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Lost River High School is ranked 89th out of 268 Oregon high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the Klamath County School District and the state of Oregon in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency, but underperforms in 11th-grade Mathematics and Science. Merrill Elementary School, on the other hand, is ranked 455th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and has a 2-star rating. The elementary school outperforms the district and state in 5th-grade English Language Arts, but underperforms in 3rd-grade through 6th-grade Mathematics and 5th-grade Science.
Both schools have high spending per student, with Lost River High School spending $21,294 per student and Merrill Elementary School spending $18,193 per student. However, the high poverty levels and varying academic performance suggest that the schools and the Klamath County School District as a whole face systemic challenges that require targeted interventions and resource allocation to address.
