Tualatin Elementary School

Summary:

Tualatin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tigard-Tualatin School District in Tualatin, Oregon. The school has 396 students and is ranked 371 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tualatin Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the OSAS exams, is generally below the district and state averages. The school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 45.5%, compared to 44.6% for the district and 39% for the state. Tualatin Elementary also ranks in the bottom quartile of Oregon elementary schools for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating significant achievement gaps. In contrast, the school performs better for female and white students, ranking in the middle or upper-middle range.

Despite spending $19,194 per student, which is higher than the district average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, Tualatin Elementary's performance has declined over the past several years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 2-star rating in the most recent school year. This trend is concerning, and the school's performance is generally lower than the nearby Deer Creek Elementary, James Templeton Elementary, and Edward Byrom Elementary schools, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The nearby Multi-sensory Instruction Teaching Children Hands-On (MITCH) charter school also outperforms Tualatin Elementary across multiple academic measures, despite having a lower per-student spending level.

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.

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.
