Summary:
The city of Umatilla, Oregon is home to three schools: McNary Heights Elementary School, Umatilla High School, and Clara Brownell Middle School. These schools, which are part of the Umatilla School District 6R, are all performing below the state average on various academic metrics, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
None of the Umatilla schools stand out as clear academic performers, with all three schools receiving low statewide rankings, ranging from 0 to 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.43% to 78.62%. Despite the district's allocation of resources, with spending per student ranging from $15,749 to $18,390 per year and student-teacher ratios between 15.9 and 17.4, the academic outcomes remain poor across the board.
The consistent pattern of low performance across all three Umatilla schools suggests that the educational challenges faced by the district are systemic in nature, rather than limited to a single school. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the low performance, in order to improve the educational outcomes for the students of Umatilla.
