Tangent Elementary School

Summary:

Tangent Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 113 students in grades K-5 in Tangent, Oregon, which is part of the Greater Albany Public School District 8J. Despite being part of a district ranked 67 out of 140 in the state, Tangent Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Tangent Elementary School faces significant challenges in student academic achievement, with consistently low test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28% of 3rd graders, 25% of 4th graders, and 44.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to district averages of 41.3%, 38.2%, and 47.3%, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oregon elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's low academic performance, Tangent Elementary spends $23,827 per student, which is higher than the district average of $18,959 to $22,553 per student at the nearby schools like North Albany Elementary School, South Shore Elementary School, and Waverly Elementary School. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential need for a closer examination of the school's spending priorities and their impact on student 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.
