Summary:
The Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56 in Oregon is home to two elementary schools: Nehalem Elementary School and Garibaldi Elementary School. While the district as a whole is performing well, with a 4-star rating and a rank of 22 out of 140 districts in Oregon, there is a notable difference in the academic performance between the two elementary schools.
Nehalem Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 25% of elementary schools in Oregon. In contrast, Garibaldi Elementary School has lower test scores and a lower SchoolDigger rating, indicating it is not performing as well as its counterpart.
The data analysis suggests that the significant difference in performance between the two schools within the same district may be due to various factors, such as differences in teaching quality, resources, or student demographics. While Garibaldi Elementary School spends more per student, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, highlighting the need to further investigate the underlying factors contributing to the school's lower performance.
