North Gresham Elementary School

Summary:

North Gresham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 559 students in grades K-5 in Gresham, Oregon, part of the Gresham-Barlow School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

North Gresham Elementary School has a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 74.96% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student population includes significant percentages of Hispanic and Multi-racial students, and the school's rankings for specific student subgroups are generally lower than the overall school ranking. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

While the nearby schools in the Gresham-Barlow School District generally perform better than North Gresham Elementary, the schools in the Reynolds School District have even lower academic achievement. The exception is the high-performing Gresham Arthur Academy, a public charter school in the area. To address these challenges, North Gresham Elementary School and the Gresham-Barlow School District may need to implement targeted interventions, increase funding and resources, and explore strategies to better support the diverse needs of their student population.

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.
