Summary:
Astoria School District 1 in Oregon has only one middle school, Astoria Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Astoria Middle School appears to be a relatively low-performing school within the district, ranking 263 out of 371 Oregon middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Astoria Middle School's performance on standardized tests, such as the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System), is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's proficiency rates range from 26.3% to 41.9% in ELA and 18.5% to 21.7% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 217 out of 367 Oregon middle schools in 2021-2022 to 263 out of 371 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend in its academic performance.
While the school's per-student spending of $15,427 is higher than the state average, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school also serves a relatively high-need population, with over 37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. To address these challenges, Astoria School District 1 may need to focus on improving instructional practices, curriculum alignment, and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement at Astoria Middle School.
