Summary:
The Rainier School District 13 in Oregon has two schools - Hudson Park Elementary School and Rainier Junior/Senior High School. The data analysis reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with Rainier Junior/Senior High School being the stronger performer and Hudson Park Elementary School struggling to meet state standards.
Rainier Junior/Senior High School appears to be the standout school in the district, with a higher statewide ranking and stronger test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is an area of concern, as it underperforms the district and state averages. In contrast, Hudson Park Elementary School significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, resulting in its low 1-star statewide ranking.
Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the Rainier School District 13 serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. The similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two schools indicate that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the performance differences. Further investigation into the underlying factors could provide valuable insights for the district to improve educational outcomes.
