Summary:
The Junction City School District 69 in Oregon has only one middle school, Oaklea Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Oaklea Middle School does not appear to be a standout performer in the region, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years and it is rated below average compared to other Oregon middle schools.
Oaklea Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 33% in ELA, 21.4% in Math, and 19.8% in Science, compared to the state averages of 40.6%, 26.4%, and 25.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (51.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($15,733 in 2021-2022) and a student-teacher ratio of 18.6 in 2022-2023, the academic performance of Oaklea Middle School remains below state and district averages. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes.
