Summary:
The Dallas School District 2 in Oregon consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals that two charter schools, Dallas Community Charter and Luckiamute Valley Charter School, are the standout performers in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on state assessments.
The charter schools have significantly higher test scores compared to the traditional public schools in the district. For example, in 2023-2024, 54.5% of 3rd graders at Dallas Community Charter were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.2% for the district and 39% for the state. Similarly, 65.2% of 3rd graders at Luckiamute Valley Charter School were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 33.5% for the district and 39.9% for the state.
The data also reveals a wide disparity in spending per student, ranging from $4,486 at Dallas Community Charter to $18,401 at Lyle Elementary. However, the charter schools with the lowest spending per student have the highest test scores, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to their academic success.
