Middle Schools in Lebanon Community School District 9

The Lebanon Community School District 9 in Oregon has only one middle school, Seven Oak Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 221 out of 367 Oregon middle schools in 2021-2022 to 244 out of 371 in 2023-2024, and it has consistently maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Seven Oak Middle School underperforms compared to the district and state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, the school's 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate is 29.7%, compared to 37.1% for the district and 40.7% for the state. In Mathematics, the 8th grade proficiency rate is 17%, lower than the district's 20.4% and the state's 26.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 69.48% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $15,326 for the 2021-2022 school year, Seven Oak Middle School's academic performance suggests that the resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's challenges, including its declining statewide ranking and consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects, indicate that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.
