Swegle Elementary School

Summary:

Swegle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 520 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 and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Swegle Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic achievement. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state across all grade levels. For example, only 22% of 5th-grade students at Swegle were proficient in ELA, compared to 35.9% in the district and 46.9% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

When comparing Swegle Elementary to nearby schools in the Salem-Keizer district, the differences in performance are stark. For instance, Englewood Elementary School, located just 1.85 miles away, consistently outperforms Swegle across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple Swegle's. Despite these challenges, Swegle's performance has remained stagnant over the past decade, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic issues that require targeted interventions and additional support to drive meaningful improvement.

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.
