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.

Rated one of the worst schools in the state as far as educating our children. Mainly just a military preparation school. Close Quote

My daughter was failing at a main stream middle school. She was getting into fights, disrespecting the teachers, and had a 1.0 GPA toward the end of the seventh grade. I pulled her out of her school and enrolled her in Willamette Leadership Academy and, by the time she graduated the eighth grade, She had been promoted twice and was on the honor roll all of the eighth grade. She is now receiving the discipline she needs and is learning that there are consequences for misbehavior and low grades. The staff at this school are so good at keeping the kids in line, and giving them confidence to achieve their goals. I am extremely happy with their dedication to their students. I have seen such great improvement in my daughter, that I am sending my son to this school also. I don't want him in a main steam school where he can witness children disrespect their teachers and get away with it. I want him to experience what can happen in the real world...and that's what this school teaches. GREAT JOB WILLAMETTE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY! YOU ROCK! 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.
