W Verne McKinney Elementary School

Summary:

W Verne McKinney Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hillsboro, Oregon, serving 408 students in grades K-6 and part of the Hillsboro School District 1J.

Despite being part of a district ranked 56 out of 140 in Oregon, W Verne McKinney Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its students performing below district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students performing better than the overall school, while English Language Learners, students with Special Education needs, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform significantly worse.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Paul L.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (69.12% in 2022-2023) may also be a contributing factor to its overall academic underperformance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students.

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.
