Dayton Grade School

Summary:

Dayton Grade School is an elementary school located in Dayton, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Dayton School District 8, which is ranked 135 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dayton Grade School itself has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 607 out of 710 elementary schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year.

Dayton Grade School consistently underperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.1% of 3rd graders, 30.6% of 4th graders, and 22.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, with only 20% of 3rd graders and 19.4% of 4th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 39.9% and 37.7%. Additionally, the school struggles with student group performance, ranking relatively well for English Language Learner (ELL) students but performing poorly for White students and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students.

Dayton Grade School's performance has been declining over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 435th out of 701 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 607th out of 710 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Yamhill Carlton Elementary School and schools in the McMinnville School District, Dayton Grade School performs significantly worse across most academic metrics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the school's low ranking within its own district, suggest that Dayton Grade School may be facing significant challenges related to socioeconomic factors and resource allocation, which could be contributing to its underperformance.

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.
