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. Valor Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Oregon middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valor Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 17.9% to 20.2%, compared to the state average of 40.6% to 43.2%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 10.2% to 11.2%, compared to the state average of 26.4% to 30.5%. The school's performance in Science for 8th grade was also low at 7.7%, compared to the state average of 25.9%. Valor Middle School's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oregon middle schools for Hispanic students, White students, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students.

When comparing Valor Middle School to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, French Prairie Middle School, which is only 1.2 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, despite being part of the same school district. Valor Middle School's consistently low rankings and poor academic outcomes, combined with the high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population, indicate the need for a comprehensive intervention and support strategy to address the underlying challenges and improve educational outcomes for all 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.
