Coffenberry Middle School

Summary:

Coffenberry Middle School is a public middle school located in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 284 students. The school is part of the South Umpqua School District, which is ranked 119 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Coffenberry Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools, with a 0-star rating for the past two school years.

Coffenberry Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.2% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.7% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively high for Hispanic students but very low for White and multi-racial students. Additionally, the school struggles with special education students, ranking 135th out of 143 Oregon middle schools in 2021-2022. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.18% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby Joseph Lane Middle School and John C Fremont Middle School, both part of the Douglas County School District, significantly outperform Coffenberry Middle School across all academic measures. These schools have higher proficiency rates, better student group performance, and higher spending per student, indicating that the challenges faced by Coffenberry Middle School may be unique to its district and local context. The significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups at Coffenberry Middle School also suggest potential equity issues that need to be addressed.

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.
