Keizer Elementary School

Summary:

Keizer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 561 students in grades K-5 in Keizer, Oregon, a city within the Salem-Keizer School District. The school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Keizer Elementary School struggles academically, with significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.3% of 3rd graders, 25.6% of 4th graders, and 44.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 23.7%, 28.4%, and 35.9%, respectively, and the state scores of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its Hispanic and special education student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 25% and 15% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, Keizer Elementary has a high percentage of students (69.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Keizer Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers. For example, Brush College Elementary School and Clear Lake Elementary School, both within a 3-mile radius of Keizer Elementary, consistently outperform Keizer Elementary in test scores and overall school rankings. However, the school's performance on the 5th-grade science assessment, where it scored slightly above the district and state averages, suggests that the school may have the potential to improve in other subject areas with the right strategies and support.

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.
