Winchester Elementary

Summary:

Winchester Elementary is a public elementary school serving 323 students in grades PK-5 in Winchester, Oregon, which is part of the Douglas County School District 4.

Despite being part of a district ranked 55 out of 140 in Oregon, Winchester Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This performance gap is particularly wide in Mathematics, where Winchester Elementary's proficiency rates are 10-20 percentage points below the district and state. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, white students, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide.

In contrast, some nearby schools in the same district, such as Melrose Elementary and Hucrest Elementary, have 4-star ratings and rank in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. This stark contrast raises questions about the factors contributing to their success, and studying the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving Winchester Elementary.

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.
