Summary:

Elmira Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Elmira, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 286 students. The school is part of the Fern Ridge School District 28J, which is ranked 26 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elmira Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some areas of strength and some areas that could use improvement. While the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages, their 5th-grade math proficiency rate is lower. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students and economically disadvantaged students perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top elementary schools in Oregon. However, the school's white students and students with special education needs perform relatively poorly compared to their peers statewide. Nearby schools, such as Veneta Elementary School, generally outperform Elmira Elementary in academic metrics.

Overall, Elmira Elementary School has a mixed performance profile, with some areas of strength and some areas that could benefit from additional support and resources to improve student outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, but its free and reduced-price lunch rate has fluctuated significantly, indicating changes in the socioeconomic status of the student population. The school's spending per student is slightly higher than the state average, but lower than some of the nearby schools. The performance of Elmira Elementary's students, particularly in mathematics, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to enhance overall academic achievement.

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.
