Summary:
The Mt Angel School District 91 in Oregon has only one elementary school, St. Mary's Public School, which serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of 289 students. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest adequate resources, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments lagging behind the Oregon averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
St. Mary's Public School has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 452 and 529 out of 706-710 Oregon elementary schools over the past three school years, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 1 to 2 stars out of 5 during this period. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 25.6% in ELA and 34.9% in Math, compared to the state averages of 39% and 39.9%, respectively. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was also lower than the state average, at 24% vs. 30.6%.
The high percentage of students (56.75%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at St. Mary's Public School indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. While the school's resources appear to be allocated effectively, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement at the school.
