Kalmiopsis Elementary School

Summary:

Kalmiopsis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brookings, Oregon, serving 615 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Brookings-Harbor School District 17C, which is ranked 108 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kalmiopsis Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (28.9%) and Mathematics (33.7%) significantly lower than the state averages of 39% and 39.9%, respectively. The school's diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic students (around 30%) and a high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (over 60% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), may contribute to these academic challenges. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,814, its performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past few years.

The school's persistent underperformance, particularly among its high-need subgroups, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices, targeted interventions, and resource allocation strategies. Addressing the unique challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensuring that additional funding is directed towards evidence-based strategies and programs could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Kalmiopsis 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.
