Fir Grove Elementary School

Summary:

Fir Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roseburg, Oregon, serving 249 students in grades K-5 and part of the Douglas County School District 4.

Fir Grove Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with stronger results in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, but declining performance in higher grades, particularly in 5th-grade. The school's Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 85-84 out of 364-475 Oregon elementary schools in recent years, but the school's performance for female and white students is relatively weaker. With over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Fir Grove has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. The school's spending per student is higher than some nearby schools, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Douglas County School District 4, such as Green Elementary, Winchester Elementary, and Sunnyslope Elementary, Fir Grove's performance is generally on par or slightly better. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Melrose Elementary and Hucrest Elementary. To address these challenges, Fir Grove may need to focus on targeted interventions and support programs to meet the unique needs of its student population and ensure a more consistent and effective learning experience across all grade levels.

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.
