David Douglas School District 40


Summary:

The David Douglas School District 40 in Oregon encompasses 14 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population and faces some socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Cherry Park Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while Arthur Academy, a public charter elementary school, also demonstrates significantly higher proficiency rates in these subjects. At the middle school level, Alice Ott Middle School is the top performer, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. The high school, David Douglas High School, struggles to meet state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while some of the elementary schools, such as Lincoln Park Elementary and West Powellhurst Elementary, also perform below state benchmarks. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the district will be a key focus for the district moving forward.
