Hamilton Creek School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school performs particularly poorly for its female, male, and white student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oregon elementary schools for these groups. However, the school performs better for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the middle 50% of Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup. Hamilton Creek School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Lebanon Community School District 9 and the state of Oregon averages across all grade levels.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Lebanon Community School District 9, such as Lacomb School and Riverview School, generally perform better than Hamilton Creek School on academic measures. Additionally, the charter school, Sand Ridge Charter School, significantly outperforms Hamilton Creek School and other district schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The high percentage of low-income students at Hamilton Creek School (around 68-69% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to its underperformance compared to other schools in the district and state.

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.
