Hammond Elementary School

Summary:

Hammond Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 530 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 106 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hammond Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with special needs, who rank in the bottom quarter and bottom fifth of Oregon elementary schools, respectively. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.89% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in resource allocation and targeted interventions for struggling students.

When comparing Hammond Elementary School to nearby schools in the Salem-Keizer School District, the performance gap is quite stark. For example, Yoshikai Elementary School, less than a mile away, and Valley Inquiry Charter School, about a mile away, both consistently outperform Hammond in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. This highlights the need for a comprehensive review of the factors contributing to Hammond Elementary School's poor academic outcomes and the implementation of targeted interventions to address these challenges.

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.
