Sams Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Sams Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Central Point, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 247 students. The school is part of the Central Point School District 6, which is ranked 91 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sams Valley Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 299 and 599 out of around 700 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is generally below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA was 19.4%, compared to the district average of 22.4% and the state average of 39%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students generally performing better than male students, and the school's performance for Hispanic, White, and multi-racial students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, being particularly concerning.

The nearby schools in the Central Point School District 6 (such as Rogue Primary, Patrick Elementary, Jewett Elementary, Richardson Elementary, and Central Point Elementary) generally perform at a similar level to Sams Valley Elementary School, while the nearby schools in the Medford School District 549C (such as Howard Elementary) and the Eagle Point School District 9 (such as Table Rock Elementary, Eagle Rock Elementary, and Hillside Elementary) tend to perform better on state assessments, suggesting that the challenges faced by Sams Valley Elementary School may be more pronounced within the Central Point School District.

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.
