Sumpter Elementary School

Summary:

Sumpter Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 477 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.

Sumpter Elementary School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade. The school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, is generally higher than the district and state averages. Sumpter Elementary School also excels in supporting Hispanic and special education students, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of Oregon elementary schools for these subgroups, respectively. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is a concern, ranking in the bottom 5% of Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Salem-Keizer School District, Sumpter Elementary School generally outperforms its peers on state assessments. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices or resources that could be shared with other schools in the district. Additionally, Sumpter Elementary School's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and slightly higher student-teacher ratio compared to the district average may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the school's student population.

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.
