Summary:
The Coos Bay School District 9 in Oregon is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The data analysis reveals some key insights about the performance and characteristics of these schools.
Lighthouse Charter School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. With a lower free and reduced lunch rate, spending per student, and student-teacher ratio, the charter school appears to be operating more efficiently than the traditional public schools in the district. In contrast, the two K-2 schools, Eastside School and Madison Elementary School, have the lowest test scores and highest free and reduced lunch rates in the district, suggesting the need for more targeted support and resources in the early grades.
The data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, with Sunset School and Madison Elementary having the highest spending per student, and Millicoma School and Lighthouse Charter School having the lowest and highest student-teacher ratios, respectively. These findings suggest the need for the Coos Bay School District 9 to re-evaluate its resource allocation and staffing models to ensure more equitable distribution of resources and support for all students.
