Culver Middle School

Summary:

Culver Middle School is a public middle school in Culver, Oregon, serving 173 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District 509J, which is ranked 51 out of 139 districts in the state.

Culver Middle School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (28.9%) compared to the state average. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, outperforming the state in 7th-grade English Language Arts but underperforming in 6th-grade Math and 8th-grade Science. However, the school has performed well for certain student subgroups, ranking highly for Hispanic students in English Language Arts and low socioeconomic status students. Culver Middle School spends $16,753 per student, which is higher than the nearby Obsidian Middle School ($14,998) and Elton Gregory Middle School ($14,661), likely due to its lower student-teacher ratio.

While Culver Middle School's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, the school's strengths include its support for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students. Compared to nearby schools, Culver Middle School serves a more economically disadvantaged and diverse student population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the school address areas of concern, such as improving overall academic outcomes in mathematics and science.

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.
