Candy Lane Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly for its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are 10-20 percentage points lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Cedaroak Park Primary School and View Acres Elementary, Candy Lane Elementary lags behind in academic achievement.

To address these challenges, Candy Lane Elementary and the Oregon City School District should consider implementing evidence-based strategies to support struggling students, such as targeted academic interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased family engagement. Additionally, exploring ways to allocate resources more effectively and address the unique needs of the school's diverse student population could be beneficial. With a focused and comprehensive approach, Candy Lane Elementary has the potential to improve academic outcomes and better serve its students and community.

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.
