Dufur School

Summary:

Dufur School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 329 students in the rural town of Dufur, Oregon. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with some grades reaching over 60% proficiency, but struggles with lower mathematics proficiency rates, with several grades falling below 20%.

Dufur School faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (64.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6, lower than the nearby Sherman County School (14.5) and Innovations Academy (16.8). Comparing Dufur School to nearby schools, it outperforms the state average in ELA but lags behind Sherman County School in several grade levels, while Innovations Academy has significantly lower test scores across the board, potentially due to its higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Overall, Dufur School demonstrates strengths in its ELA performance and low student-teacher ratio, but faces challenges in mathematics proficiency and socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning. The school's performance compared to nearby schools provides valuable context and highlights areas for potential improvement, as it works to support its students in the Dufur School District 29.

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.
