I am currently student teaching at Duniway Middle School with Christy Werst as my mentor. I am seeking information about Duniway to include in my academic field experience notebook for Western Oregon University. Debbie Williams

It is a awesome and great school!The scool is and the teachers are nice, and some are really funny. Also if you have no one to pick you up after school or you just want to do something fun there are really cool clubs.

I have had excellent experiences at Duniway Middle school with my youngest son. Tony Mann does a fair and consistent job with the kids as does Cathy Carnahan. My older two went there also and there were many administrative problems. They have largely in my opinion been resolved. They offer classes for both special needs kids and advanced and gifted students. I don't find the kids to be rude or bullying to each other on the whole. Most of the teachers have been very good. A few lemons, but none that would spoil the experience. I find the environment to be conducive to learning on the whole. I wouldn't hesitate to send my son or daughter here if I were moving to McMinnville.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
