Rose City Park

Q: Is Rose City Park a good school?

Rose City Park ranks 92 nd of 710 Oregon elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rose City Park is a high-performing elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving 467 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 17th out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rose City Park consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 64.5%, compared to the district's 59.6% and the state's 46.9%. Similarly, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 68.5%, significantly higher than the district's 57% and the state's 39.9%. The school's White, Special Education, and English Language Learner (ELL) student groups perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top 15%, 5%, and 10% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Asian student group lags behind, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oregon elementary schools.

While Rose City Park outperforms nearby Vestal Elementary School and Rigler Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, it trails the high-performing Glencoe Elementary School and Laurelhurst Elementary School, which consistently rank among the top 10% of Oregon elementary schools. Rose City Park's relatively high spending per student ($30,082 in 2021-2022) and low student-teacher ratio (ranging from 15.8 to 20.1 over the past three school years) may contribute to its strong academic performance, but these factors alone do not guarantee high performance.

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.
