Summary:
Union School District 5 in Oregon contains a single elementary school, Union Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages, with low proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a student population with a significant level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the 70.05% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $21,293, which is above the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.9 to 1, Union Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to other schools in the district and state. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The high chronic absenteeism rate may also be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance, indicating a potential issue with student engagement and attendance.
Overall, Union School District 5 appears to have significant room for improvement in its elementary school offerings. The data suggests that targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation and student support strategies may be necessary to address the challenges faced by Union Elementary School and improve the overall academic performance of the district's students.
