Summary:
The Myrtle Point School District 41 in Oregon serves two schools: Myrtle Crest School, an elementary school, and Myrtle Point High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are ranked below the state average on various academic metrics.
Myrtle Crest School is ranked 530 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. Similarly, Myrtle Point High School is ranked 223 out of 268 Oregon high schools, also with a 1-star rating. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, indicating a systemic issue within the district.
The high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, 70.53% at Myrtle Crest School and 66.37% at Myrtle Point High School, suggest that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. Despite the high spending per student, $22,578 at Myrtle Crest School and $28,241 at Myrtle Point High School, the academic performance of the schools remains poor, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the district's challenges. The district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of the low academic performance, such as targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community engagement initiatives.
