Hilda Lahti Elementary School

Summary:

Hilda Lahti Elementary School is a public school in Astoria, Oregon, serving 311 students in grades K-8. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hilda Lahti Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.4% to 44.8% in English Language Arts and 8.8% to 24.3% in Math, well below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, including females, males, white students, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's special education performance is better than other subgroups, it still ranks in the bottom third of Oregon elementary schools. Despite spending $20,080 per student, which is higher than nearby schools, Hilda Lahti Elementary School's academic outcomes remain significantly lower, suggesting the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources.

Interestingly, the nearby Pacific Ridge Elementary, Warrenton Grade School, and Lewis & Clark Elementary schools generally outperform Hilda Lahti Elementary School in academic metrics, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that Hilda Lahti Elementary School may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 31.51%, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, and the Knappa School District 4 should consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of this population.

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.
