Summary:
Myrtle Point School District 41 in Oregon is home to a single high school, Myrtle Point High School. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 114th out of 241 Oregon high schools in 2021-2022 to 223rd out of 268 in 2023-2024. This decline in performance is reflected in the school's below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests, with only 33.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 5.4% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 45.2% and 20%, respectively.
Despite higher per-student spending ($28,241 in 2021-2022) and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 14.6, the school continues to struggle academically. This may be partly due to the high percentage of students (66.37% in 2022-2023) who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population. The data suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help improve student outcomes.
Overall, the data highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address the performance issues at Myrtle Point High School, which serves the Myrtle Point School District 41. While the school's challenges are significant, the data also suggests that with the right strategies and interventions, the school can work to improve its academic performance and better serve its students.
