East Orient Elementary School

Summary:

East Orient Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gresham, Oregon, serving 366 students in grades K-5 and part of the Gresham-Barlow School District.

East Orient Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 3rd-5th grade students scoring significantly higher than their peers. The school's Hispanic and low-income student groups also perform exceptionally well, often ranking in the top quartile of Oregon elementary schools. However, the school's overall ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 79th out of 709 schools in 2017-2018 to 214th out of 710 schools in 2023-2024. This may be due in part to the strong performance of the nearby Gresham Arthur Academy charter school, which consistently outperforms East Orient in both subject areas.

Compared to other schools in the Gresham-Barlow district, East Orient Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically advantaged student population. The school's per-student spending is also higher than the state average, though its student-teacher ratio is on par with nearby schools. Overall, East Orient Elementary remains a strong-performing school, but maintaining and improving academic outcomes, especially in the upper grades, will be crucial for the school to continue its success.

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.
