East Gresham Elementary School

Summary:

East Gresham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 551 students in grades K-5 in Gresham, Oregon, within the Gresham-Barlow School District. While the school has a diverse student population, with 41.6% Hispanic, 38.1% White, and 10.3% Multi-racial students, it faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools.

East Gresham Elementary School's performance on state assessments (OSAS) is below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.3% of 3rd graders, 41.7% of 4th graders, and 30.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 30%, 33.8%, and 36.6%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support in this subject area.

Interestingly, the nearby Hall Elementary, Hollydale Elementary, and Powell Valley Elementary schools within the Gresham-Barlow School District have similar academic performance and demographic profiles to East Gresham Elementary. However, Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school within the district, stands out with significantly higher academic achievement, suggesting that the challenges faced by East Gresham Elementary may be a systemic issue within the district.

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.
