WyEast Middle School

Summary:

WyEast Middle School is a public middle school in Hood River, Oregon, serving 373 students in grades 6-8. While the school is part of the Hood River County School District, which is ranked 38 out of 140 school districts in the state, WyEast's academic performance consistently lags behind both the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Compared to the nearby Hood River Middle School, which outperforms WyEast in academic assessments, WyEast's student subgroups show significant performance gaps. While white students at WyEast perform relatively well, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low-income students struggle, with their proficiency rates ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Oregon middle schools. This wide achievement gap is more pronounced at WyEast than the district and state averages.

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $22,706 compared to $17,694 at Hood River Middle School, WyEast's academic outcomes do not reflect this additional funding. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Oregon middle schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the nearby Hood River Middle School maintains a 4-star rating. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and teacher quality, may be contributing to WyEast's challenges in improving student performance.

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.
