Summary:
The Knappa School District 4 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Hilda Lahti Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, ranking 584 out of 706 Oregon elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hilda Lahti Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 10.3%, compared to the state average of 46.7%, and the 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 14.3%, compared to the state average of 31.3%. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade in 2024-2025 was 25.7%, slightly below the state average of 27.2%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $22,348 for the 2022-2023 school year and a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 15.8, the academic performance remains below average. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.31% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance.
