North Lake School

Summary:

North Lake School is an alternative public school located in Silver Lake, Oregon, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 230 students. As an alternative school, North Lake likely offers a more specialized or tailored educational approach compared to traditional public schools in the area.

One of North Lake School's key strengths is its consistent performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with 11th-grade students scoring 78.6% proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 45.2%. However, the school struggles with Mathematics proficiency, with only 7.1% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 20%. In Science, North Lake School performs better than the state average, with 50% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 32%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.53% to 168% over the past few years.

North Lake School spends $21,194 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average. This could be due to the specialized nature of the alternative school program and the need for additional resources to support the student population. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 12.7 over the past three school years, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. Overall, North Lake School appears to be a specialized alternative school that is effectively supporting student learning in ELA but faces challenges in Mathematics, while investing significant resources to provide the specialized support and attention needed for its predominantly low-income 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.

Open Quote For the past five years this school has gone downhill fast. The administration is to blame for not keeping up with current educational trends and holding teachers accountable! With a new administration I hope this school will rise to its former great place, but it is not so great at the moment Close Quote

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.
