Parkdale Elementary School

Summary:

Parkdale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 275 students in grades K-5 in the Hood River County School District in Mount Hood Parkdale, Oregon. While the district is ranked 38 out of 140 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Parkdale Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance.

Parkdale Elementary has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages, with only 29.5% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 43.7% for the district and 39% for the state. The school also struggles in 5th grade Science, with only 50% proficient compared to 36.2% for the district and 30.6% for the state. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, with White students performing much better than Hispanic students. The school's ranking has also declined over the past several years, dropping from 267th in 2018-2019 to 312th in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools.

Interestingly, Parkdale Elementary's performance lags behind other schools in the Hood River County School District, such as Westside Elementary and May Street Elementary, which rank much higher (52nd and 158th in the state respectively) and have significantly better test scores across all grades and subjects. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, Parkdale Elementary's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges.

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.
