Madras Elementary School

Summary:

Madras Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 363 students in grades K-5 in Madras, Oregon, which is part of the Jefferson County School District 509J. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across grade levels and subject areas compared to state and district averages.

Madras Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are well below state averages, with only 17.5% of 3rd graders, 11.5% of 4th graders, and 27.8% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's performance is also low, with only 19.4% of 3rd graders, 8% of 4th graders, and 20.4% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to state averages of 39.9%, 37.7%, and 31.4%. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.

When comparing Madras Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes evident that the school is the lowest-performing, with Buff Elementary School outperforming Madras Elementary School significantly in both ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (15.1) and higher-than-average spending per student ($18,224) suggest that it is making efforts to support its students, though the impact on academic outcomes is not yet evident.

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.
