Falcon Heights significantly underperforms the Klamath County School District and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.4% of 11th-grade students at Falcon Heights were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.5% in the district and 45.2% statewide. The school's performance in science is also notably low, with only 8.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 40.8% in the district and 32% statewide. Additionally, Falcon Heights has experienced significant fluctuations in its student-teacher ratio, which may impact the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 83.61% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting that it serves a predominantly low-income student population.

The consistently low academic performance, fluctuating student-teacher ratio, and high poverty rates at Falcon Heights indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for the community it serves.

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.
