Riley Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Riley Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gold Beach, Oregon, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 310 students. The school is part of the Central Curry School District 1, which is ranked 12th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Riley Creek Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 186th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018 to its current ranking of 449th out of 710 schools in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels (3rd through 6th), and the school's performance in Science for 5th grade was also significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, with 66.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

The consistent decline in Riley Creek Elementary School's statewide ranking and academic performance, particularly in ELA and Mathematics, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. The high percentage of students from low-SES backgrounds may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and the fluctuations in the school's student-teacher ratio over the past few years may also be impacting the quality of instruction. To address these issues, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and focus on improving the educational outcomes for all students, particularly those from underperforming subgroups.

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.
