Summary:
Nyssa School District 26 in Oregon has only one middle school, Nyssa Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Oregon middle schools for the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in academic performance. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high, it has not translated into significantly better outcomes compared to the state average.
Nyssa Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the state average, with some exceptions. For example, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate of 42% in 2023-2024 was slightly above the state average of 40.7%. However, the school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 17.4% in 2023-2024 was well below the state average of 25.9%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 93.43% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be contributing to its relatively low academic performance.
Despite the school's high per-student spending, it has not been able to significantly improve its academic outcomes. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. Targeted interventions and support in subject areas like ELA, Mathematics, and Science, as well as strategies to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
