Earl Boyles Elementary

Summary:

Earl Boyles Elementary is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 363 students in grades PK-5 as part of the David Douglas School District, which is ranked 102 out of 140 school districts in the state.

Despite the school's higher spending of $24,000 per student, Earl Boyles Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The school particularly struggles with low test scores among female, male, and white students, though it performs better for Hispanic students. With 87.88% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Earl Boyles has significantly higher poverty rates than nearby schools in the district.

While Arthur Academy, a public charter school in the area, outperforms Earl Boyles and the district in core academic areas, Cherry Park Elementary, another district school, also significantly outperforms Earl Boyles. This suggests that the challenges faced by Earl Boyles go beyond just funding, and the school may need to examine its instructional practices and support for specific student subgroups to improve outcomes for its community.

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.

Open Quote While the teachers are great people the administration plays office politics and does not care for its employees unless they remain completely sub servant to them. If you end up thinking for yourself and not liked then they will openly discriminate against you and even HR will choose to do nothing to help you. Close Quote

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.
