Summary:
The city of Oakridge, Oregon is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Oakridge Elementary School, Oakridge High School, and Oakridge Junior High School. These schools are part of the Oakridge School District 76. Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three Oakridge schools are performing significantly below the state average on key metrics such as standardized test scores and statewide rankings.
Across the board, Oakridge schools have proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are well below the state averages. For example, Oakridge Elementary School's proficiency rates are less than half the state's in all three subjects. The schools' statewide rankings also reflect this underperformance, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of Oregon schools in their respective categories. Additionally, the Oakridge schools have very high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community.
While Oakridge High School has the highest spending per student at $30,529, the other two schools have lower spending at $21,645 for Oakridge Elementary and $22,020 for Oakridge Junior High. This uneven allocation of resources may be contributing to the systemic issues across the district. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture for the Oakridge school community, and addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
