Walterville Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments (OSAS) compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 4th-grade and 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates were higher than the district and state, its 3rd-grade ELA and overall mathematics proficiency rates were lower. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was also higher than the district but lower than the state.

Walterville Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly lower than the nearby Douglas Gardens Elementary and Yolanda Elementary schools within the Springfield School District. However, the school's performance is significantly lower than the higher-performing Thurston Elementary School, which ranked 118 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 with a 4-star rating. The school's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio may be factors to consider in understanding its performance and identifying areas for 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.
