Summary:
The Stanfield School District 61 in Oregon is home to two schools: Stanfield Secondary School (a high school) and Stanfield Elementary School. While the elementary school performs relatively well, with a 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger rating and strong proficiency rates, the secondary school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking and struggles with low test scores, particularly in mathematics.
At the elementary level, Stanfield Elementary School stands out for its higher performance on state assessments, with 58.8% of 3rd graders proficient in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39% and 39.9% respectively. However, the school also has a significantly higher rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (80.62%) compared to the high school (48.44%), indicating a greater proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
In contrast, Stanfield Secondary School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 106th out of 241 Oregon high schools in 2021-2022 to 208th out of 268 in 2023-2024. The school struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, where only 11.8% of 11th graders were proficient in 2023-2024, compared to 20% statewide. Additionally, the high school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.3, compared to 14.8 at the elementary school, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
