Spring Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Spring Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 307 students in grades K-5 and part of the Eugene School District 4J.

While Spring Creek Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, its academic performance has generally lagged behind the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school has performed better in 5th grade Science, with a 40% proficiency rate compared to the district's 38.6% and the state's 30.6%. The school's student population includes a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.5%, which is higher than nearby Gilham Elementary and Yujin Gakuen Elementary.

Spring Creek Elementary's proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as Gilham, Yujin Gakuen, and Awbrey Park, suggests opportunities for collaboration and learning. Additionally, the school's inconsistent performance over time and equity concerns, such as the performance gaps observed for certain student subgroups, indicate a need for more focused and sustained improvement efforts to provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
