Letitia Carson Elementary School

Summary:

Letitia Carson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Corvallis, Oregon, serving 390 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Corvallis School District 509J, which is ranked 10th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Letitia Carson Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 130th out of 695 Oregon elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 264th out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is mixed compared to the district and state averages, with strengths in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, but struggles in 5th-grade Math and Science. The school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.18%) and a more diverse student population, with 49% Hispanic students, compared to nearby schools like Philomath Elementary School and Oak Grove Elementary School.

Despite the school's lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, Letitia Carson Elementary School has a higher per-student spending ($20,028) than the nearby schools, which range from $15,735 to $21,085 per student. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting that the allocation of teaching resources may not be consistent. These findings suggest that further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes at Letitia Carson 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.
