Sagle Elementary School shows a clear split between English Language Arts and math/science. ELA proficiency is 54.4%, essentially matching the state average, and the school exceeds both district and state averages in 3rd-grade ELA (55.9% vs. 54.6% district and 48.5% state) and 4th-grade ELA (58.8% vs. 55.0% district and 50.2% state). However, math proficiency sits at just 39.5% overall — well below the district's 54.1% — and 5th-grade math drops to 34.1%. Science is also a concern, with 5th-grade science at 38.6% versus the district's 52.4%. Year-over-year trends are mixed: ELA improved sharply from 46.5% to 54.4%, while math declined from 44.3% to 39.5%, suggesting a need for targeted upper-elementary math intervention.
Encouragingly, Sagle's statewide ranking has improved from the 32nd percentile (2023-2024) to the 47th percentile (2025-2026), even though its star rating has remained at 2 stars. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, and about 37.88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. Per-student spending is $8,495, though this figure is from 2018-2019 and may be dated. With solid early-literacy results and an improving rank, Sagle Elementary School offers a strong reading foundation for younger students, though families should be aware of the math and science gaps that emerge in the intermediate grades.
