Multnomah Learning Academy

Summary:

Multnomah Learning Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 567 students in grades K-8 in Fairview, Oregon. Despite being part of the low-performing Reynolds School District, Multnomah Learning Academy consistently outperforms the district and the state of Oregon in academic proficiency across all grade levels.

The school's strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy for its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student groups, which significantly outperform their counterparts in the district and state. In 2023-2024, Multnomah Learning Academy's 5th-grade students had a 46.8% proficiency rate in English Language Arts, compared to 27.1% in the district and 46.9% statewide. Additionally, the school's Hispanic students ranked 236 out of 365 Oregon elementary schools in ELA, while its low-SES students ranked 228 out of 523 schools, demonstrating its ability to effectively serve traditionally underserved populations.

Interestingly, Multnomah Learning Academy achieves these strong academic outcomes while spending significantly less per student ($6,257 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby Gresham-Barlow School District schools ($19,000-$20,000 per student). The school also maintains a higher student-teacher ratio (21.1 in 2022-2023) than the district schools, suggesting that it is able to effectively manage larger class sizes and still deliver excellent results. These factors, combined with the school's relatively high ranking among Oregon elementary schools, make Multnomah Learning Academy an intriguing case study for understanding the potential benefits of the charter school model in challenging educational environments.

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.
