Seaside Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools, with its academic performance, as measured by state assessment tests, generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 34.5% to 42.2%, compared to the state average of 40.7% to 43.2%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 16.2% to 24%, compared to the state average of 26.4% to 30.5%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with special education students performing relatively well, but Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students performing significantly worse.

While Seaside Middle School's spending per student is higher than the state average, it is lower than the nearby Astoria Middle School and Warrenton Middle School. Additionally, Seaside Middle School's student-teacher ratio is higher than these nearby schools, ranging from 18.6 to 20.2 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the school's challenges may extend beyond just resource allocation and staffing, and further investigation into the school's instructional practices and curriculum may be necessary to identify the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
