Elementary Schools in Falls City School District 57

The Falls City Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the Falls City School District 57 in Oregon. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Oregon elementary schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state average across all grade levels tested. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 97.46% in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $29,208, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The combination of low student achievement, high poverty, and relatively high spending suggests that the school and district may face significant challenges in improving educational outcomes. However, the low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support for students. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, will likely be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the district.
