Metzger Elementary School

Summary:

Metzger Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tigard, Oregon, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 518 students. The school is part of the Tigard-Tualatin School District, which is ranked 37 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Metzger Elementary School faces several performance challenges, particularly in the areas of academic achievement and the disparities in outcomes for different student subgroups. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Metzger's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 36.2%, compared to 44.6% for the district and 39% for the state. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 284 to 527 out of around 700 Oregon elementary schools.

Metzger's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While white students perform relatively well, with the school ranking in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 20% of Oregon elementary schools. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support. In contrast, nearby schools like Montclair Elementary and Oak Creek Elementary have much smaller achievement gaps between subgroups.

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.
