Sagle Elementary School

Q: Is Sagle Elementary School a good school?

Sagle Elementary School ranks 204 th of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Sagle Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 290 students in grades PK-6 in Sagle, Idaho, which is part of the Lake Pend Oreille School District. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking ranging from 44th out of 359 Idaho elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 219th out of 292 in 2016-2017, and its current ranking at 204th out of 301 schools (2 stars) for 2023-2024.

Sagle Elementary's test scores on the ISAT exams are generally below the state and district averages, with 38.2% proficiency in Math, 44.5% in Science, and 41.9% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 42.2%, 41.2%, and 53.3% respectively. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 31%, is lower than some of the nearby schools.

Compared to higher-performing nearby schools such as Northside Elementary and Washington Elementary, Sagle Elementary's performance is generally lower, with significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that the school may need to examine its instructional practices and support systems to better serve its students and address the challenges it faces, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate.

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.

The staff actively and deliberately dumbs down programs intended to stimulate and develope a healthy learning environment. I shall remove my child rather then permit him to become Forrest Gump. Staff like this is why Idaho consistently ranks 48th to 50th in the nation for education. Close Quote

We are having a great experience at Sagle Elementary. The teachers are wonderful and the principle is involved and friendly. We feel both of our kids (aged 10 & 5) are getting a good education and are having fun in the process. Close Quote

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.
