Wallowa Middle School

Summary:

Wallowa Middle School is a public middle school located in Wallowa, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 40 students. The school is part of the Wallowa School District 12, which is ranked 16 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Wallowa Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were 63.6% for 6th grade, 60% for 7th grade, and 50% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 40.7%, 43.2%, and 40.6%, respectively. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates were 18.2% for 6th grade, 40% for 7th grade, and 41.7% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 28.4%, 30.5%, and 26.4%. The school's performance is particularly strong among female students, ranking 53 out of 323 Oregon middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

While Wallowa Middle School's overall performance is strong, the decline in the ranking of white students compared to the previous year may suggest the need to examine potential equity issues and ensure that all student subgroups are receiving the support they need to succeed. Additionally, with only 40 students, Wallowa Middle School is a relatively small school, which may allow for more personalized attention and targeted interventions for students, but may also present challenges in terms of resource allocation and extracurricular opportunities.

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.
