Tobias Elementary School

Summary:

Tobias Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Aloha, Oregon, serving 411 students in grades K-6 and part of the Hillsboro School District 1J.

While Tobias Elementary School was once a strong performer, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 160th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 489th out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with particularly concerning low performance among male students, as well as the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status student populations. Tobias Elementary's student-teacher ratio has also been steadily increasing, from 17.9 in 2021-2022 to 17.1 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the ratios of the nearby Quatama Elementary, Butternut Creek Elementary, and Ladd Acres Elementary schools, which generally outperform Tobias on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings.

Despite Tobias Elementary School's per-student spending of $16,699 in 2021-2022 being on par with the nearby Hillsboro School District schools, the school's declining academic performance and increasing student-teacher ratio suggest that addressing the underlying factors, such as the specific needs of the school's diverse student population, may be crucial in improving the outcomes at Tobias 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.
