Middle Schools in Dallas School District 2

The Dallas School District 2 in Oregon has only one middle school, LaCreole Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 253 out of 367 Oregon middle schools in 2021-2022 to 276 out of 371 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating out of 5. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the district and state averages, with the exception of 8th-grade ELA, which is slightly above the district average.

LaCreole Middle School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 40.78% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $15,467, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2022-2023 school year was 16.6, which is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio of 15:1 for middle schools.

The declining performance and proficiency rates of LaCreole Middle School suggest that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other middle schools in Oregon. This could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation, and the school may need to examine its resource allocation and utilization to ensure they are being used effectively to support student learning and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.
