Westridge Elementary School

Summary:

Westridge Elementary School is a public K-5 school in the highly-ranked Lake Oswego School District 7J, serving a student population of 470. This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oregon, with exceptional academic performance and equitable outcomes for diverse student groups.

Westridge Elementary School stands out for its consistently high academic achievement, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 4th out of 706 elementary schools in Oregon. However, the school's student population is less racially diverse than the surrounding area, with a much higher percentage of white students (80.64%) compared to nearby schools like Forest Hills Elementary School and Bridgeport Elementary School. This may indicate a need to explore ways to better serve and support a more diverse student population.

Despite the school's racial homogeneity, Westridge Elementary School has demonstrated an ability to provide an equitable educational experience and support the academic success of all student subgroups, including gender and race. Additionally, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (2.34%) suggests that it serves a relatively affluent community, which may contribute to its high academic performance. Overall, Westridge Elementary School is a consistently high-performing school that excels in academic achievement and student group performance, though its lack of racial diversity compared to nearby schools is an area for potential improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Westridge is a wonderful school. Teachers keep me informed. Children go to interesting and educational field trips such as trips to the capitol, to Rice Museum, or paddling a canoe on Tryon Creek. There are many opportunities for extra classes and enrichment before and after school. Many parents volunteer so that the ratio of adults to children is low. Many donate to the Lake Oswego School Foundation which has the sole purpose of funding additional teaching salaries in the Lake Oswego School District, keeping class sizes down. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
