Summary:
The Oroville School District in Washington state has only one elementary school, Oroville Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with a high-need student population and academic performance that is generally below state averages, particularly in math.
Oroville Elementary has a student enrollment of 277, with a racial makeup that is 52.35% White, 36.82% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. The school has a high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 76.9%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's investment in the school, with a spending of $19,424 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, the school's test scores remain below the state averages in English Language Arts and math across all grade levels.
While Oroville Elementary's science proficiency rates are higher than the state average, its overall academic performance has remained relatively consistent over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking hovering around the 700th position out of approximately 1,170 elementary schools in Washington. The school's challenges suggest a need for continued efforts to address the underlying factors contributing to its performance and to support the academic growth of its high-need student population.
