Edwards Elementary School

Summary:

Edwards Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Newberg, Oregon, serving 473 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Newberg School District 29J, which is ranked 24 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Edwards Elementary School's overall performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests is generally lower than the Newberg School District and the state of Oregon averages, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for White students, but its performance for Hispanic students, English Language Learners (ELLs), students with special needs, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds is concerning, with rankings in the bottom 50-156 out of 365-339 Oregon elementary schools for Hispanic students and the bottom 6-149 out of 179-87 Oregon elementary schools for ELLs. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 59.62%, which suggests a higher proportion of students from low-income families attending the school.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ewing Young Elementary and Mabel Rush Elementary in the Newberg School District, as well as Ridges Elementary and Archer Glen Elementary in the Sherwood School District, Edwards Elementary School's performance is relatively low. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly for its underperforming subgroups.

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.
