Arleta Elementary School

Summary:

Arleta Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 256 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Arleta Elementary School is a consistently high-performing school, outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. The school also ranks very highly for its performance with special education and low-socioeconomic status students, as well as gifted and talented students. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Arleta provides a well-rounded and equitable educational program.

While Arleta Elementary School is a high-performing school, it is located near several lower-performing schools, such as Kelly Elementary, Lent Elementary, Marysville Elementary, and Woodmere Elementary. This proximity presents both challenges and opportunities, as Arleta could potentially serve as a resource or model for its neighboring schools, and there may be opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing to support the broader educational community.

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.
