Summary:
The David Douglas School District 40 in Oregon is home to three middle schools: Ron Russell Middle School, Floyd Light Middle School, and Alice Ott Middle School. Among these, Alice Ott Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 157 out of 371 Oregon middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from School Digger.
Alice Ott Middle School consistently outperforms the other two schools and the district/state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

While all three schools have relatively high spending per student, ranging from $20,847 at Ron Russell to $22,645 at Alice Ott, the student-teacher ratios vary, with Alice Ott having the highest ratio at 19.3. The data suggests that the David Douglas School District 40 as a whole faces some challenges, as all three middle schools have relatively low statewide rankings and test scores compared to the state averages, indicating a need for district-level interventions or support.
