Summary:
The Knappa School District 4 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Hilda Lahti Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools and struggling to meet academic standards across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Hilda Lahti Elementary School's statewide ranking has been low, placing it 632 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.4% in 4th grade English Language Arts to 44.8% in 8th grade English Language Arts. In mathematics, proficiency rates ranged from 8.8% in 5th grade to 24.3% in 7th grade, also well below state averages.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,080 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which is slightly lower than the state average, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's demographic factors, such as a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 31.51%, may be contributing to the academic challenges, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support services to help these students succeed. Overall, the analysis of Hilda Lahti Elementary School's data indicates a persistent underperformance that requires a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
