Cedar Mill Elementary School

Summary:

Cedar Mill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Portland, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 356 students. The school is part of the Beaverton School District, which is ranked 19th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar Mill Elementary School has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Oregon, ranking within the top 40 schools in the state for the past several years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 40th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the Beaverton School District and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 65.5% to 82.8% and in Mathematics from 55.9% to 74.1%.

While Cedar Mill Elementary School has exceptional overall performance, its ranking for Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students has been more variable, suggesting the school may need to focus on supporting its lower-income student population to ensure equitable outcomes. The school's spending per student ($16,378 in 2021-2022) is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools, indicating efficient use of resources. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.8 in 2022-2023 is higher than some nearby schools, which may need to be addressed as enrollment continues to grow.

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.
