Sam Case Elementary

Summary:

Sam Case Elementary is a public elementary school located in Newport, Oregon, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 386 students. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sam Case Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, ranking between 377 and 433 out of around 700 schools in recent years. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief period of 3-star rating in 2015-2016 and 2014-2015. The performance of different student groups at Sam Case Elementary is also a concern, with Hispanic students, English Language Learners (ELL), and homeless students all ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oregon elementary schools for their respective subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and 5th-grade Science are consistently below the Lincoln County School District and Oregon state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Crestview Heights School have generally outperformed Sam Case Elementary in academic achievement, while Toledo Elementary School has shown mixed performance. The wide range of performance for different student subgroups and the consistently low statewide ranking and rating of Sam Case Elementary suggest that the school may benefit from a comprehensive review of its educational practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to address the academic performance gaps and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
