Henry L Slater Elementary School

Summary:

Henry L Slater Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Burns, Oregon, serving 352 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Harney County School District 3, which is ranked 112 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending, Henry L Slater Elementary has consistently underperformed the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across grades 3-5 over the past three school years. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 26.3%, compared to the state average of 39%, and its 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 15.4%, compared to the state average of 31.4%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its special education and low socioeconomic status students, who rank significantly below the state average.

These findings suggest that Henry L Slater Elementary School may be facing systemic challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's performance disparities across different student subgroups indicate potential equity issues that need to be addressed, and the effective utilization of resources may also be a factor contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing these challenges will be crucial to improving student outcomes and ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
