Mari-Linn Elementary School

Summary:

Mari-Linn Elementary School is a public K-8 school located in Lyons, Oregon, serving 184 students as part of the North Santiam School District 29J. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the district and state averages, Mari-Linn Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments.

The school's academic struggles are particularly acute for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students from low-income families, with rankings in the bottom 25% of Oregon elementary schools for these groups. However, the school's special education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 10% of Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018. Nearby schools within the North Santiam School District, such as Stayton Elementary School and Sublimity Elementary School, generally outperform Mari-Linn Elementary on state assessments and have higher rankings.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at Mari-Linn Elementary, along with factors such as instructional practices and school climate, may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Examining the successful strategies of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Centennial Elementary School and Victor Point Elementary School, could provide valuable insights for improving Mari-Linn Elementary's outcomes.

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.
