Summary:
The Forest Grove School District 15 in Oregon is home to two middle schools: Neil Armstrong Middle School and Tom McCall Upper Elementary. While both schools serve similar student populations, the data reveals that neither school is a standout performer, with both institutions struggling to meet state academic averages in key areas.
According to the data, Neil Armstrong Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools over the past three years, with its most recent statewide ranking placing it 279th out of 371 schools. Similarly, both Neil Armstrong Middle School and Tom McCall Upper Elementary perform below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. This trend is concerning and suggests that the Forest Grove School District 15 may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the overall academic achievement of its middle schools.
Despite the similar challenges faced by both institutions, the data also reveals that Neil Armstrong Middle School and Tom McCall Upper Elementary share several key metrics, such as free and reduced lunch rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios. This suggests that the schools may be facing comparable resource and demographic challenges, which could be contributing to their collective underperformance. The Forest Grove School District 15 may need to take a comprehensive approach to address these issues and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
