Nellie Muir Elementary School

Summary:

Nellie Muir Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Woodburn, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 435 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

Nellie Muir Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.6% of 3rd graders, 12% of 4th graders, and 28.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is also very low, with only 6% of 3rd graders and 16.9% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 39.9% and 31.4%. The school's performance on student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with Special Education needs, is also concerning, ranking in the bottom 10-20% or 50% of Oregon elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary, Heritage Elementary, and Woodburn Arthur Academy, also perform poorly compared to the state averages, but they generally outperform Nellie Muir Elementary School across various academic metrics. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Nellie Muir Elementary School (around 72% in recent years) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Addressing the needs of this student population could be crucial for improving the school's performance.

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.
