Marcola Elementary School

Summary:

Marcola Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marcola, Oregon, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 148 students. The school is part of the Marcola School District 79J, which is ranked 103 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Marcola Elementary School's performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates were 38.1% in English Language Arts and 23.8% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.9% and 37.7%, respectively. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Thurston Elementary School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates, Marcola Elementary School's academic performance is lower.

Despite the lower academic performance, Marcola Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 15.8 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Springfield School District schools. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $16,104, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the school may be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes and potentially other support services, but the impact on student outcomes is not as 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.
