Clark Elementary School

Summary:

Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portland, Oregon, serving grades K-5 and part of the Portland School District 1J. However, the school has a low ranking, placing 551 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Clark Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are notably lower than nearby schools like Lee Elementary, Atkinson Elementary, and Bridger Creative Science School. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as White and African American students, though it performs relatively well for English Language Learners and Special Education students.

The high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students at Clark Elementary School is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. Analyzing the successful practices of the higher-performing nearby schools could provide insights and strategies that could be applied at Clark Elementary to help raise student achievement and address the needs of the school's high-poverty student population.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Clark Elementary School

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.
