Durham Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics higher than the state averages for grades 3-5. Compared to the Tigard-Tualatin School District, Durham Elementary School had higher proficiency rates in ELA for grades 3-5 and in Mathematics for grades 3-4. However, the school's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate (22.5%) was significantly lower than the district (34.4%) and state (31.4%) averages. The school's diverse student population includes 42.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its rankings for different student subgroups vary, with male students and Hispanic students performing better than female students and White students.

While Durham Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in the Tigard-Tualatin School District, such as Alberta Rider Elementary and Charles F Tigard Elementary, the nearby schools in the Lake Oswego School District, such as Lake Grove Elementary, Oak Creek Elementary, and Westridge Elementary, significantly outperform Durham Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. Additionally, the school's rankings for English Language Learners and Special Education students are relatively lower, indicating these subgroups may need additional support.

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.
