Summary:
The Parkrose School District 3 in Oregon is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of academic performance across these schools, with Russell Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while Shaver Elementary and Prescott Elementary struggle to meet state averages in test scores.
The data also reveals that the schools in the Parkrose School District 3 generally have higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, but this additional funding does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance. Sacramento Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio of 11.7, suggesting more individualized attention for students, and it also outperforms the district and state averages in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Science test scores.
The high percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 70.03% to 83.08%, suggest that the schools in the Parkrose School District 3 are serving a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed in some of the schools. The district should focus on identifying the factors contributing to the disparities in academic performance, allocating resources effectively, and implementing targeted strategies to support the lower-performing schools and address the socioeconomic needs of the student population.
