Azalea Middle School

Summary:

Azalea Middle School is a public middle school located in Brookings, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is part of the Brookings-Harbor School District 17C, which is ranked 108 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Azalea Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 23.1% (6th grade) to 33.3% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 40.7% (6th grade) and 43.2% (7th grade). Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 10.6% (6th grade) to 23.2% (7th grade), while the state averages were 28.4% (6th grade) and 30.5% (7th grade). The school's performance in Science for 8th grade was also lower, with 17.7% proficiency compared to the state average of 25.9%.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some groups performing better than others. Female students generally outperform male students, while Hispanic students and White students perform relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools. Multi-racial students and Special Education students perform better, ranking in the middle or upper-middle range of Oregon middle schools. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the school's increasing student-teacher ratio and high percentage of students from low-income families suggest that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
