Summary:

Waldport Middle School is a public middle school located in Waldport, Oregon, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 82 students. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waldport Middle School has consistently performed better than the Lincoln County School District average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency for both 7th and 8th grades. However, the school's performance is still below the state average in most subject areas. Interestingly, the school has a strong performance among students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 42 out of 244 Oregon middle schools for this subgroup. Additionally, Waldport Middle School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.4 to 27.7 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby Toledo Junior High.

Despite these positive factors, Waldport Middle School faces several challenges. The school's statewide ranking has dropped significantly over the past few years, from 64 out of 379 Oregon middle schools in 2018-2019 to 266 out of 371 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance data shows notable differences between male and female students, as well as racial disparities, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. While Waldport Middle School outperforms the Lincoln County School District average, it lags behind the nearby Newport Middle School in most academic areas, indicating the need to learn from higher-performing schools within the same district.

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.
