Applegate Elementary School

Summary:

Applegate Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Applegate, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 106 students. The school is part of the Three Rivers/Josephine County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 140 districts in the state.

Applegate Elementary School has shown inconsistent performance on the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) tests, with some grade levels and subjects performing well above the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet the benchmarks. For example, the school's 6th-grade students outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts, but the 7th-grade students fell behind. In mathematics, 3rd and 4th-graders excelled, but 6th and 7th-graders performed poorly. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 209th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year to 563rd out of 706 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Applegate Elementary School faces additional challenges due to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's strong performance for low-income students in the 2017-2018 school year suggests that it is capable of effectively supporting this population when the right strategies and resources are in place. When compared to nearby schools, such as Griffin Creek Elementary and Madrona Elementary, Applegate's performance is mixed, with some schools outperforming it in certain areas and underperforming in others.

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.
