Driftwood Elementary School

Summary:

Driftwood Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Port Orford, Oregon, serving 169 students. The school is part of the Port Orford-Langlois School District 2CJ, which is ranked 74 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Driftwood Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well but White and male students performing much lower. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 293 out of 697 Oregon elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 447 out of 710 in the current school year. This is likely due in part to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school has shown some inconsistent academic performance, with certain grades and subjects performing better than others, the overall trend is concerning. The disparities in student group performance and the school's declining ranking suggest that Driftwood Elementary may need to implement more targeted and equitable instructional strategies, as well as provide additional support services for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, in order to improve academic outcomes for all students.

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.
