Schirle Elementary School

Summary:

Schirle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 304 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 106 out of 140 districts in the state.

Schirle Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. In the 2023-2024 school year, Schirle's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 64.7%, compared to 28.4% for the district and 41.9% for the state. The school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 40%, compared to 25% for the district and 39.9% for the state. Schirle's female and Hispanic students have also performed well, ranking in the top 40% and top 25% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's special education and low-income students have shown mixed results, suggesting potential equity concerns.

Compared to nearby elementary schools in the Salem-Keizer district, Schirle Elementary generally performs better academically, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. However, some schools, such as Morningside Elementary, have also demonstrated strong academic performance. Schirle's spending per student ($20,304 in 2021-2022) is higher than the state average, which may contribute to the school's success, but the district's overall low ranking suggests potential resource challenges that the school may need to navigate.

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.
