Kelly Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Kelly Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gresham, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Gresham-Barlow School District, which is ranked 95 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kelly Creek Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 383 and 436 out of 706-710 schools over the past few years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is generally below the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.5% to 47.8% in ELA and 21.6% to 40.8% in Mathematics across grades 3-5. However, the school's performance on the OSAS Science assessment for 5th grade is closer to the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.7% to 22.4%. The school's diverse student population includes significant representation of Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, and the school's performance varies across different student subgroups.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance is still below the state and district averages, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole factor driving student outcomes. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. Interestingly, Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school within the same district, consistently outperforms Kelly Creek Elementary on state assessments, while Naas Elementary, a school in the neighboring Oregon Trail School District, also outperforms Kelly Creek Elementary on state assessments and has a higher overall ranking.

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.
