East Elementary School

Summary:

East Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Tillamook School District 9, with a total enrollment of 470 students.

While East Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9, its academic performance lags behind state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state, with only 36.1% of 4th graders, 32.6% of 5th graders, and 29.5% of 6th graders meeting proficiency in ELA, compared to state averages of 41.9%, 46.9%, and 40.7%, respectively. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are 45.1% for 4th grade, 22.9% for 5th grade, and 19.7% for 6th grade, compared to the state averages of 37.7%, 31.4%, and 28.4%. This underperformance is also evident when compared to nearby schools, such as Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School, which consistently outperforms East Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics.

One potential factor contributing to East Elementary's lower academic performance may be its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which stands at 65.96% - significantly higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student of $15,890 is higher than the state average, more work may be needed to address the needs of the student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
