Roseway Heights School

Summary:

Roseway Heights School is a public middle school in Portland, Oregon, serving 576 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently underperforming academic results compared to the Portland School District 1J and the state of Oregon.

Roseway Heights School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is more mixed. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (65.8%), the school's spending per student is relatively high at $29,412, but its student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 15.7 to 17.0 in recent years.

Compared to nearby middle schools within the Portland School District 1J, such as Beaumont Middle School and Mt. Tabor Middle School, Roseway Heights School consistently underperforms. However, the school performs better than some middle schools in the neighboring David Douglas and Parkrose school districts, which have even lower academic achievement and higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.

Open Quote When this was a K-8 elementary school it had teacher and staff morale and an energized parent community. PPS destroyed it when they converted it to a middle school (against the will of the parents). Took my son out of the school as it became a cesspool of fighting and unmotivated and unresponsive teachers and staff. PPS never did force any of the wealthier K-8 schools to break into elementary and middle schools - funny how that works. Shame on PPS for sticking it to the middle and working class parents and children yet again. Close Quote

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.
