How to Read the At-A-Glance School Profiles

What is the At-A-Glance School Profile?

Version en español

The Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA), signed by President Obama On December 10, 2015, was a reauthorization of our nation’s national education law (i.e., the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965), and replaced and updated the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. Using the flexibility afforded by ESSA, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) created the At-A-Glance School Profile as part of a redesign of the school and district report cards. For more information on the redesign project, go to the Report Card Redesign webpage.

The creation of the At-A-Glance School Profile required ODE to engage parents from diverse backgrounds. The aim of the parent engagement campaign was to capture and honor the voices of parents from historically underserved communities so as to facilitate the display of locally meaningful and relevant information on the At-A-Glance School Profile.

All data is based on the 2022-23 school year unless otherwise noted. Exceptions include the graduation and completion rates, and teacher and principal turnover. For more detailed technical information about the At-A-Glance reports, please refer to the At-A-Glance Profile Technical Manual. In particular, the At-A-Glance Profile Technical Manual includes details on the data sources and calculations used in the report.

Students We Serve (page 1)

The Students We Serve section shows the school’s Student Enrollment (total student enrollment on the first school day in October in grades K-12 in 2022-23) and the percentage of students and staff by racial/ethnic group. This section also displays five critical school demographics:

  • Ever English Learners (percentage of students who have been served or were eligible for an English language development program during 2022-23 or at any time in the past)
  • Languages Spoken (unique number of home languages spoken by students)
  • Students with Disabilities (percentage of students who had an Individualized Education Program at any time during the 2022-23 school year)
  • Required Childhood Vaccinations (percentage of students with all required childhood vaccinations; data comes from the Oregon Health Authority)
  • Free/Reduced Price Lunch (percentage of students who were eligible to participate in or participated in the free/reduced price lunch program at any time during the 2022-23 school year). Eligibility for Free/Reduced Price Lunch greatly expanded in 2020-21 under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s COVID-19 waiver to provide Free/Reduced Price Lunches to students during the pandemic.

Our Staff (page 2)

The Our Staff section shows the adjusted full-time equivalent (FTE) of Teachers, Educational Assistants, and Counselors/Psychologists/Social Workers in the school. FTE is a conversion of hours worked to a standardized and comparable measure of staff workload. For instance, FTE of two could reflect two full-time teachers or four half-time teachers.

A teacher is defined as a teacher, head teacher, special education teacher, or special education physical education teacher.

This section also displays the Average Teacher Retention Rate (the three-year average of the percentage of teachers employed at a school that return to the school in at least one of the two the following years) and whether the school has had the same principal during the last three school years. The Teacher Experience measure is also reported as the “percentage of licensed teachers with more than three years of experience” (it is calculated by dividing the number of teachers who are licensed with more than 3 years of experience teaching in Oregon and outside of Oregon by the total number of Teachers who are licensed in the school).

Our Staff (rounded FTE) 24 Teachers. 7 Educational assistants. 2 Counselors/ Psychologists/ Social workers. 95% Average teacher retention rate over the past three years. 76% % of licensed teachers with more than 3 years of experience. No Same principal in the last 3 years.


School Environment (page 1)

The School Environment section shows the Class Size (median class size for the school) and Regular Attenders (percent of students who attended more than 90 percent of their enrolled school days). The median gives an estimate of the average class size for the school. This section also shows the Oregon state average and the calculated change from the school’s previous year for each indicator.

Class Size. Median class size. 19. Decrease from previous year 2. Oregon average 22. Regular Attenders. Students who attended more than 90% of their enrolled school days. 73%. Increase from previous year 6%. Oregon average 62%.

School and State Goals, and Safe & Welcoming Environment (page 1)

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) provides the State Goals section. The School Goals section is for schools to provide local context regarding the school’s priorities or goals for serving their students. The Safe & Welcoming Environment section is for schools to describe actions taken or resources used to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all students and their families. Both the School Goals and the Safe & Welcoming Environment sections are submitted to ODE by school and district staff.

School Goals. Our school strives to promote student success by helping students be successful in academic achievement while feeling a part of a welcoming and supportive school climate in a culture of excellence and community of care. Through our school improvement plan focused on literacy, mathematics, and effective systems, our school continues to be ranked high in state measures of growth. State Goals. The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% on-time, four year graduation rate by 2027. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students. Safe & Welcoming Environment. Our school strives to ensure each and every student and their families feel welcome. All communication is shared by different media and are translated into multiple languages for easy access. Interpreters attend conferences and school meetings where families are present. We have adopted a social-emotional framework in our building, Responsive Classroom, that focuses on creating a supportive, active, and highly engaging classroom environment with clear expectations and a high level of predictability throughout the building.

What do the symbols mean?

There are three different types of symbols that can appear on the profiles:

  • The less than symbol <
    • This could appear, for example, in the phrase “< 10 students or data unavailable” which occurs whenever the total number of students available for a measurement is less than 10 students. Two examples where this occurs are shown in the following images.
      Part of the At-A-Glance where the less than symbol appears. The language in the image says 'less than 10 students or data unavailable', where less than is represented by the symbol.
      At-A-Glance dial where the less than symbol appears. The center of the dial reads 'less than 10 students or data unavailable'. There is also surrounding text for the dial that reads 'Oregon average 64%.'
  • The greater than symbol >
    • This could appear in front of a percentage to communicate that the actual value is greater than the percentage.
  • The asterisk symbol *
    • This could also appear when the total number of students available for a measurement is less than 10 students or the data are unavailable. To protect confidential student information from being revealed, the asterisk appears in place of the percentage.
      * Ever English Learners. 1 Languages Spoken. * Students with Disabilities. * Required Childhood Vaccinations. >95% Free/reduced price lunch.
