Pringle Elementary School has shown a mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 5th-grade ELA. However, the school has performed well for Hispanic students, ranking in the top 50 out of 365 Oregon elementary schools in recent years. Conversely, the school has struggled with the performance of White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 50 out of 670 and 523 Oregon elementary schools, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, Pringle Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than that of Schirle Elementary School and Morningside Elementary School, which have consistently higher proficiency rates. However, Pringle outperforms some nearby schools, such as Salem Heights Elementary School and Lee Elementary School. The school's high percentage of low-income students, over 91%, may contribute to the challenges it faces in academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in 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.
