Estacada Middle School

Summary:

Estacada Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Estacada School District in Estacada, Oregon, with 429 students. While the school has some bright spots, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and the performance of certain student subgroups.

Estacada Middle School consistently performs below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.5% of 6th graders, 32.6% of 7th graders, and 33% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 40.7%, 43.2%, and 40.6%, respectively. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 11.2% of 6th graders, 21% of 7th graders, and 14.9% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding the standards, compared to the state averages of 28.4%, 30.5%, and 26.4%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools, with a ranking of 293 out of 371 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, and a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

When comparing Estacada Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Happy Valley Middle School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. Happy Valley Middle School, which is 13.91 miles away, consistently outperforms Estacada Middle School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, with significantly higher percentages of students meeting or exceeding the standards. However, one interesting finding is that Estacada Middle School's military-connected students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 2 schools in Oregon for this subgroup in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support and resources for this specific student population.

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.
