Summary:
The city of Milwaukie, Oregon is home to 17 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools, all part of the North Clackamas School District 12. The district is ranked 54 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Several standout schools emerge from the data, including Sojourner School, an elementary school that consistently performs well and ranks in the top 160 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools. View Acres Elementary School also stands out, ranking in the top 132 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools. At the high school level, Milwaukie Academy of the Arts, a public charter school, has consistently ranked in the top 66-83 out of 268 Oregon high schools.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, both within the district and compared to state averages. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Whitcomb Elementary School and Milwaukie High School, tend to have lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $12,455 to $52,338, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation within the district and the potential impact on student outcomes.
