Shasta Elementary School

Summary:

Shasta Elementary School is a public elementary school in Klamath Falls, Oregon, serving 518 students in grades K-6 and part of the Klamath County School District. While the school has access to significant resources, with higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes than the state average, its academic performance generally lags behind both the district and state averages across grade levels and subjects.

Shasta Elementary's performance on the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) tests is below average, with only 41.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 44.4% in mathematics, compared to 33.8% and 37.9% for the district, respectively. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 24.3% is also well below the state average. However, Shasta's Hispanic students perform better than the school's overall average, ranking in the top 50% of Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup, while the school's special education students rank in the bottom 25%.

Compared to nearby schools, Keno Elementary consistently outperforms Shasta, while Mills Elementary and Stearns Elementary have significantly lower academic achievement. The high-performing Ferguson Elementary, located less than a mile from Shasta, stands out as the top school in the area. Despite these challenges, Shasta's efforts to support its low-income and Hispanic students suggest the school is working to address its performance gaps.

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.
