McKinley Elementary School

Summary:

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 285 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 106 out of 140 districts in the state.

Academically, McKinley Elementary has shown a mixed performance. While its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts, they struggled in Mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the district and state. The school's Hispanic students have performed better than the state average, but students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds have lagged behind. McKinley's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 59th out of 707 Oregon elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 402nd out of 706 in 2021-2022.

McKinley Elementary is located near several other elementary schools, including Candalaria Elementary and Morningside Elementary, which have outperformed McKinley in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Salem Heights Elementary has struggled academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates. McKinley's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, along with its relatively high student-teacher ratio, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

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.
