Lane Middle School

Summary:

Lane Middle School is a public middle school located in Portland, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 334 students. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Lane Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools, with a ranking between 271-347 out of 367-380 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics, where only 10.3% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 40.6% in the district and 26.4% statewide. The school's diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, likely contributes to these academic challenges.

While the school's resources may be relatively high, the academic performance of Lane Middle School remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be enough to address the school's challenges. The school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to ensure that they are effectively supporting student learning and addressing the specific needs of the school's population, which includes a significant percentage of historically underserved subgroups. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach that includes targeted interventions, culturally responsive teaching practices, and a careful examination of resource allocation and utilization.

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.
