In contrast, Woodburn Success, an alternative high school, has a very low proficiency rate of only 5.7% of 11th graders proficient in ELA.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the Woodburn School District and the state averages on standardized tests, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed. While per-student spending varies across the schools, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between funding and academic outcomes. The presence of a high-performing public charter school, however, highlights the potential benefits of school choice in the area.
