Myers Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, with a current ranking of 255 out of 710 schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics is generally higher than the district and state averages, with 54.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35.9% for the district and 46.9% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top 25% and top 5% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for multi-racial students is relatively low, ranking in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools in this subgroup.

While Myers Elementary School generally outperforms nearby schools in the Salem-Keizer School District, such as Highland Elementary and Bush Elementary, some nearby schools, like Kalapuya Elementary and Candalaria Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance. The school's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest it may have effective strategies and resources in place to support student learning, but its fluctuating ranking over time indicates areas for continued improvement and monitoring.

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.
