Elementary Schools in Sheridan School District 48J

The Sheridan School District 48J has only one elementary school, Faulconer-Chapman School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Faulconer-Chapman School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.13% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,420 for the 2022-2023 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 in 2023-2024, its academic performance remains low, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Overall, the data indicates that Faulconer-Chapman School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and addressing the challenges it faces will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors. The school's consistently low performance and the challenges it faces underscore the need for the district and community to work together to ensure that all students in the Sheridan School District 48J have access to a quality education.
