The school is part of the Woodburn School District, which is ranked 140 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, French Prairie Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 11.9% of 6th graders, 12.4% of 7th graders, and 17.6% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.7%, 43.2%, and 40.6%, respectively. In mathematics, only 6.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.4%.

When comparing French Prairie Middle School to nearby schools, such as Valor Middle School in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is significantly underperforming.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 71.72%, suggests that it faces significant challenges in supporting the academic needs of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
