Redwood Elementary School

Summary:

Redwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grants Pass, Oregon, serving 440 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Grants Pass School District 7, which is ranked 51 out of 140 districts in the state.

Redwood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, Redwood's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 56.8%, compared to 47.2% for the district and 46.9% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Despite this, Redwood's low-income students perform significantly better than the state average for this subgroup, ranking 86th out of 523 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024.

Redwood Elementary generally outperforms the other elementary schools in the Grants Pass School District 7, as well as the nearby schools in the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District. For example, Redwood's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate in 2023-2024 was 56.8%, compared to 45.1% at Riverside Elementary, 63.5% at Highland Elementary, and 40.6% at Lincoln Elementary. However, Redwood's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 133rd in 2012-2013 to 275th in 2023-2024, which could be an area of concern that the school and district should investigate.

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.
