Summary:

Whitworth Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dallas, Oregon, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the Dallas School District 2, which is ranked 57 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whitworth Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. While the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was slightly higher than the district and state, the 4th-grade ELA and mathematics proficiency rates were lower. The school's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 165th out of 365 Oregon elementary schools, but the White students and students with special education needs have performed below average, ranking 452nd and 197th, respectively. Whitworth Elementary School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 67.89%, suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Whitworth Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Dallas School District 2, such as Oakdale Heights Elementary School and Lyle Elementary School. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Salem-Keizer School District 24J, Whitworth Elementary School's performance appears to be significantly lower, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving student achievement.

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.
