Hines Middle School

Summary:

Hines Middle School is a public middle school in Hines, Oregon, serving 164 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Harney County School District 3, which is ranked 112 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hines Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.7% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.7%. Similarly, in 8th-grade Mathematics, only 14.3% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.4%. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past few years, with the majority of its rankings among Oregon middle schools falling in the bottom third. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students of low socioeconomic status, who perform significantly worse than their peers statewide.

Despite the school's consistently low performance and declining rankings over the years, there is no clear evidence of significant improvement efforts or interventions being implemented to address the academic challenges. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, but its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning. The significant performance gaps and lack of progress in key metrics raise concerns about the school's ability to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
