Yoncalla School District 32

The Yoncalla School District 32 in Oregon consists of two schools: Yoncalla Elementary School and Yoncalla High School. The district appears to be struggling, with both schools performing poorly compared to state averages in areas such as test scores and statewide rankings.

Yoncalla High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranking 59th out of 258 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023 but 228th out of 241 the previous year. In contrast, Yoncalla Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.

Both schools have low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to state averages, and the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 75%. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the academic performance of the schools does not seem to be reflecting the additional resources, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the district's challenges.
