Summary:
Dayton School District 8 in Oregon has only one middle school, Dayton Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon middle schools over the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Dayton Junior High School's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates less than half the state's in many subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 12.9% to 21.3%, compared to the state averages of 40.6% to 43.2%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 9.3% to 12.9%, compared to the state averages of 26.4% to 30.5%. The school's performance on the 8th grade Science assessment is also very low, with only 6.9% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 25.9%.
The school faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (74.24% in 2022-2023) and a per-student spending that is lower than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low academic performance, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by Dayton Junior High School and its students.
