South Wasco County Elementary School

Summary:

South Wasco County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Maupin, Oregon, serving 112 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the South Wasco County School District 1, which is ranked 118 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, South Wasco County Elementary School has consistently underperformed the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across grades 3-5 over the past few years. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 37.5% compared to the state average of 39%, and its 5th grade Mathematics proficiency was only 7.1% compared to the state average of 31.4%. The school's performance for low-income students and White students is also concerning, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oregon elementary schools for these subgroups.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, the school's academic performance has declined over the past several years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. This trend suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively educating its students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. Targeted interventions and support, such as personalized learning and intensive tutoring, may be necessary to improve student outcomes at South Wasco County Elementary School.

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.
