Gaffney Lane Elementary School

Summary:

Gaffney Lane Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oregon City, Oregon, serving 445 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Oregon City School District 62, which is ranked 42 out of 140 school districts in the state.

Gaffney Lane Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, as well as the performance of nearby higher-performing schools like Trillium Creek Primary School and Bolton Primary School, which are part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the past decade, from a high of 194 out of 695 Oregon elementary schools in 2013-2014 to its current ranking of 452 out of 710 in 2023-2024.

Gaffney Lane Elementary School faces several challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.28%) and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also mixed, with the need for targeted interventions and support for underperforming groups, such as male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. To improve its academic outcomes and ranking, the school may benefit from a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for specific student populations.

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.
