Summary:
Sunset School is an elementary school located in Coos Bay, Oregon, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Coos Bay School District 9, which is ranked 97 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Sunset School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 543 and 656 over the past 10 years and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sunset School's academic performance is significantly lower than that of other nearby schools, such as Millicoma School and Lighthouse Charter School, which are also part of the Coos Bay School District 9. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Millicoma School had 32-42.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA), and Lighthouse Charter School had 37.5-72.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and Mathematics, compared to Sunset School's much lower proficiency rates of only 12.9% of 3rd graders, 19.2% of 4th graders, 12% of 5th graders, and 31.4% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sunset School, 55.83% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's low ranking for student subgroups, such as Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, indicates that the school may need to improve its support and interventions for these populations. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement, as Sunset School's performance has shown some fluctuations over the years, with a slight increase in ELA proficiency for 4th and 5th graders in 2022-2023. With targeted interventions and support, Sunset School has the potential to enhance the educational experiences and opportunities for its students.
